Quoth Appendix B:

"""
To create an object inside an object manager use |manage_addProduct|:
self.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFolder(id, title)
"""

Here, 'manage_addFolder' is the constructor for 'Folder' but you'd 
replace this with the constructor of your ZClass "BAR". (Note that 
'self' refers to the ObjectManager to which you're adding an object. In 
a Python script, which I think is how you do methods in a ZClass, this 
is 'container' or 'context'.)

Put that in the constructor of "FOO" and you got it.

The actual mechanics of this I can't help you with, as I don't use ZClasses.
