wow. This isn't really much of a ZPT issue, I think, apart perhaps from the 
use of conditions.

It sounds to me like the kind of hardwiring you're doing is likely to cause 
problems: what you're wanting to do isn't exactly that simple.

Dieter has already illustrated how you use objectValues() to list folder 
contents. But the kind of complexity you want will need some kind of 
PythonScript which will use objectValues() recursively if required. You 
should not need to include index_html's in the various folders which need 
acquisition since index_html will be acquired anyway.

In order to tell how far down the tree you are you can always look at the 
path and count it yourself but again this kind of hardwiring might not be 
what you want.

I suspect you might be better using a ZCatalog to search for you and 
writing a few scripts to do the additional user-relevant logic.
