Neither do I )-:

I think I was confused and therefore confusing.  Let me try to explain
again.  I am trying to control the publishability (that is, visibility) of
objects A, B, and so forth.  Object A has a URL /z/y/x/A and is legally
referenced only from URLs /p/d/q/R and /p/d/n/S and then only in some
(computed) circumstances.  For our purposes let's assume that references
from R and S can be guaranteed legal.  All other reference are to be
disallowed, even if the user holds the appropriate Zope permissions.

The question is how to implement this functionality in Zope.
