yes - an intermediate value works, I was more wondering why the original statement will not work... as it appears to be a perfectly valid statement.
Replacing the array element reference with a simple math formula works. i.e. Array{2+8-6} give the value of element 4 (assuming there is one) there should not be an issue with a valid formula inside set brackets.... ohh well...
