I've probably described things rather poorly. :) I do want to have inner and
proper in the same place. But two servlets (i.e. 2 * 2 files), each running
in it's own context, didn't seem to work. As if the first, when initialized
by the engine (Tomcat), somehow locks stuff that make Jython unable to find
the other servlet.
    It's a bizarre problem (if I for instance remove the first servlet from
Tomcat initialization, the other is suddenly found).
    I'm too tired to dare try and explain further I'm afraid :); I'll try to
produce a better analysis and description later (I don't even have access to
the machine right here.)

Hopefully; I haven't missed something obvious (since it's such a strange
problem).
