Ok, after some reading in ZopePageTemplate.py my understanding is as 
follows:

- when my object changes, ZCacheable_invalidate must be called

- in my index_html, try to get a cached value via ZCacheable_get

- if there is no cacheable value yet, store it via ZCacheable_set

- the keyset to use is a dictionary containing the request variables 
which are the keys, e.g. { 'language': REQUEST.get('language'), 
'template': REQUEST.get('template'), }

Correct? Still missing something?

Thanks,

Tobias
