Looking at the generated source, it appears to be fine as the class's
allowed_content_types includes 'ATTopic' as the last entry:

##code-section module-header #fill in your manual code here
from Products.ATContentTypes.content.topic import ATTopic
##/code-section module-header

...
class ...

    ...
    allowed_content_types = ['CSFileBox', 'CSRequest', 'ATTopic']
    filter_content_types = 1
    ...

The first two allowed_content_types are defined in my product and work
properly.

Fix reason firmly in her seat and call to her tribunal every fact,
every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God;
because, if there is one, he must more approve of the homage of 
reason, than that of blindfolded fear.  --Thomas Jefferson
