I am not sure I understand your problem. Default arguments can be given in
the definition of the function. If you need to pass a variable in an
external method you can just do
<!--# var "mymethod(myvariable)" -->
Additionally the self argument in the external method definition is
replaced by the object (or containing folder) that calls the method so you
have access to the namespace of the object through self.
