I think for a quick work'a'round you could use this snippet. If you are
using an external method pass the self explizitly to your method, e.g.
<dtml-call "getNewZClass(this(),otherParameter)">. In your method you have
to define the self as first argument.

self.aq_acquire('Control_Panel').Products.NameOfYourZClassProduct.NameOfYour
ZClass(Instance-Parameter)

Good luck.
