Sean, I got it working by directly include the class in the turbogears generated code, rather then including my code.
I am not sure why, and started this new thread to try and find out. Thanks for the pointer to the URL, that helped point me to root of the problem. It looks like my SQLObject class was not being associated with the connection. http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_frm/thread/923dff2a329146bf/cd031293d8e91866#cd031293d8e91866
