A guess (I never quite understood this either) Isn't the difference :
- first example the 'postingValues' in the context of your 'posting' object
and
- the second the 'postingValues' in the context of the default objectlist  -
presumably objectValues

if so, you might want to wrap the postingValues as well in a
<dtml-let postings="postingValues">

just guessing
