Is this gonna work though ? Practically all the tools use the idiom
aq_parent(aq_inner(self)) to get to the portal object. Depending on
the context, this may or may not give the correct result...

Actually with several nested portals, "the" portal object is not well
defined anymore, so it's as good a choice as any...
