Hi, Dieter,

thanks for answering. I hoped to avoid the AccessRule thing and have a 
solution inside my portal product (which can contain site objects in 
varying level depths). A site object would easily know e.g whether or 
not the two following path elements are a valid language and layout.

Is it more difficult or dangerous to use the __bobo_traverse__ method?

Thanks,

Tobias
