I generally use the let tag for assigning more complex expressions to a
variable. You cannot indeed change them without nesting let tags.

However, you can lever the REQUEST object for this kind of thing:

  <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Size', 'big')">
  <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Size', 'bi')">
  <dtml-if "Size=='big'"><h1></dtml-if>
  Hello.
  <dtml-if "Size=='big'"></h1></dtml-if>

Now, 'Size' is found in the REQUEST object, and there the value of
'Size' can be modified.
