Thanks for th pointer Shane,
My original attempt with Andy's help was to use the REQUEST's resolve_url.
However, the SiteAccess2 product breaks that method. I'll try your
suggestions.
Thanks
Tom

I think what you're looking for is getPhysicalPath() and
unrestrictedTraverse(). Store object2.getPhysicalPath(), which returns
a tuple, in object1. To find object2 again, call
object1.unrestrictedTraverse(stored_physical_path).
Note that this only works in Zope 2.2.x+.
