Yes.  I am trying to reference a folder that is not in the same path.
And I tried your next suggestion a long time ago, with no luck. 
<!--#var candidate1.name-->, and get an error with traceback:

<!--

This doesn't work.  My paths are like, /staff/candidates/candidate1, and
staff/companies/company1/job1/submission1/MyDocument.  I am trying to
reference a property of the candidate1 folder in the MyDocument
document.
