Acquisition works fine irrespective of the object id.
And dotted or dashed names work fine in ZPT path:

tal:content="here/my-folder/index.html/title"

If you use python, most objectmanagers support dictionary-like notation:

tal:content="python:here['my-folder']['index.html'].title"

...and if you object doesn't support dictionary-like notation, you can 
use getattr:

getattr(getattr(here,'my-folder'),'index.html').title

And getattr performs Acquisition just fine...

cheers,

Chris
