I think that <!--#var "References.biscuit"--> should work.  Alternately, you
could try <!--#with References--><!--#var biscuit--><!--#/with-->.

The problem with <!--#var References/biscuit--> is that it treats
References/biscuit as a single entity.  The quotes treat it as an expression,
where it can then find References as an object through Acquisition. the '.' is
an operator (maybe?) that looks for the sub-entity biscuit.  Or at least
that's how my newbie brain looks at it.

Cheers...
