There is no dynamic permission creation that I know of, so you'll need another approach. One idea would be to use a behavior. The behavior would watch for children to be added to a folder (I'd add a custom "marker" aspect to the folder so you'll have something to bind your behavior to). When the behavior notices that its folder contains six files and one of them is named toto.html, it can go find the other folder and change the permissions as you see fit.

Obviously you'll also need the behavior to watch for children being removed and renamed if it is important to change the permissions on the other folder back to "deny" if the number of files drops below six or if toto.html is renamed.

Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction.
