passing from one zpt and another is storing them inside the request
object, and thus, using html forms. But for some reasons that I'm
missing, it doesn't work!

passing objects from one template to another via the REQUEST variable only
works while you're in ONE request. otherwise you'll get a string
representation as you mentioned.

try using the session mechanism instead:
