It's a question of acquisition. You formulate in this manner an 
acquisition path like::

/Folder/Sub1/scripts/myAddFolder

Thus 'scripts' is the context for myAddFolder. You can formulate a path 
like::

/scripts/Folder/Sub1/myAddFolder

where the most recent object is the one you want. Or you can put your 
script where it needs to be used. Acquisition encourages placement of 
objects not by types, but rather by function.
