I think, I know it better :-)

  When an External Method belongs to a product (e.g. External Methods
  that belong to CMFDefault or to support products), it
  is a *VERY* good idea (almost a must) to put the code
  for these External Methods in the "Extensions" subfolder of
  the product.

  When you create the External Method in Zope, you use
  "product_name.module_name" as module.
