Thanks Max,

great stuff though I was looking for a different answer but this is also 
something I need.

I was more after an answer where you are composing a page with several 
objects (sorry if I use the wrong notation I'm a newbie in Python and Zope) 
like:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<dtml-var zope_quick_start>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

But in my case I have some images, and script in various folders hence I 
would like to do something like:

<dtml-var includes/my_header>
<dtml-var images/my_picture>
<dtml-var includes/my_footer>

(But this syntax is wrong.)

Should it be something like:

<dtml-var expr="BASE1">includes/my_header
<dtml-var expr="BASE1">images/my_picture
<dtml-var expr="BASE1">includes/my_footer

(I just found some objects that might be useful but haven't tried them out 
yet e.g. RESPONSE, REQUEST and so forth.)

Thanks,
Magnus
