When ERP5Type is initialized, it loads all documents from ERP5-like 
products by affecting them a dynamic path, everything is under ERP5Type 
product for forward compatibility (otherwise renaming a product or 
moving a document from one product to another is a nightmare).
Resource will be loaded as Products.ERP5Type.Document.Resource.Resource
but this is only after ERP5Type is initialized.
