You can use another object as an anchor point instead.  You could, for
example, put an object in each site root folder called site_root.  Now
you can acquire anything else contained by your site root thus:

.../some_container/site_root/path/to/method

Take a look at restrictedTraverse().

I'm not sure that would be helpful.  How, for example, would this folder
resolve the much-used name "HTML"?
