You can always access anything you yourself have put into the context tree, you just walk into it from the profileRequestContext variable if there's no faster route to it.

The only trick to bear in mind is that you can get into the subcontexts without needing access to the context's Java class object by calling getSubcontext("classname"), putting the class' name into a string literal. Velocity doesn't have access to real Java runtime stuff so you can't just easily get hold of class objects or create new objects, etc.
