Well that didn't work because the chatterbox calls to $USER and makes some other function calls which aren't in the namespace.

My experience with the everything engine (to which i commonly refer as the e2 engine, just because it runs everything2.com), has only been via the web interface (ie i don't see any of that stuff you got there), so the simplest thing to do here iis create a new node (superdoc or whatever), and if you need, a new display type (one without any container), and just stick all that template stuff in there.

the chatterbox nodelet is located at node=chatterbox;type=nodelet;, and if you visit it on your website, and you got enough power, you can view source, so just go ahead and do that, and you'll see that it's not that complicated (a select here and there, and a call to parselinks and maybe parsecode - if you got it ) and that is it.

What you are doing is a little crazy, cause that's not how the Everything engine was meant to be run ~ you'll have more trouble figuring it out that just sticking to how everybody else (ie me) does it (that's how everything hackers do it, and they are a few).
