Your question can mean several different things, i'll try to answer them.

If you want to build a news site with articles in different folders like:

home/
    general/
        article1
        article2
        article3
    computers/
    Hifi/
        article4
    Politics/
        article5
        article6

And if you then want to have a list of all the articles on the front page
you could either traverse the folders manually

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('all_articles', general.objectValues() +
conmputers.objectValues() + Hifi.objectValues() + Politics.objectValues())">
<dtml-in all_articles>
    <a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title_or_id></a><br>
</dtml-in>

Or you could use the Catalog to to list the articles. This is probably the
best way to do it in the long run and it will be faster too.
