Sure, but it won't help.

Right, because when a ZPT uses a skin macro, the raw macro "byte code" 
is inserted into the the ZPT. That means all TALES variables are bound 
to the actual view, not the skin.

Define a view class for * that you will query from the macro, e.g. 
context/@@myhelperview/foo.
