Folder Trees, as they are commonly known in an interface designer's vocabulary, are one of the more complex techniques to add to a database. You need to have a solid understanding of the Parent > Child relationship between records and understand how one series of inter-related records is different from any other series - all within one table. Oh, and there's that new aspect of FileMaker Pro 7 that allows for recursion within calculations.
