To understand "aq_inner" and "aq_explicit", you need
to understand acquisition.

You find something in the "Name lookup" section of

  <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html>

and in Jim's acquisition talk (which your probably can
locate via a search for "Jim Fulton acquisition containment before
context").

Once you understood acquisition, you know "aq_self", "aq_parent"
and implicit and explicit acquisition wrappers.
Now, you can understand "aq_inner" and "aq_explicit".

To determine "aq_inner" from an acquisition wrapper,
you follow its "aq_self" recursively, until "aq_self"
is not an acquisition wrapper.

The "aq_explicit" attribute of an acquisition wrapper
returns an explicit acquisition wrapper with the same
"aq_self" and "aq_parent".
