in the second case, i passed var2, so why shouldn't it work? :)

btw, if i call z sql functions this way:

<dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set('param1','1st parameter')">
<dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set('param2','2nd parameter')">
<dtml-call sqlDoSomething>

then it works, and if i was calling a dtml method instead of an sql one,
then it doesnt.

is this the way it should go?

if this is, how can i access parent's namespace (values set by
REQUEST.set, etc) ?

i got confused now. :) so whats the normal behaviour?

which traceback should i post? the first or second one? page1 or page2?
