If nothing else, you can use the approach described under "Validating in action 
handlers" at 
http://plone.org/products/dexterity/documentation/manual/schema-driven-forms/customising-form-behaviour/validation
 (this ties the validation more to the form than to the schema, but it sounds 
like this add form is a special case anyway).

You can also try aq_parent(request['PUBLISHED']) as a way to get the parent of 
the published object, which should be the container that the form is a view of 
in this case.
