ESP, sling.include and variable scope

[Branden Visser]

Hi all,

If I include a script that has similarly named variables as my parent 
script, I *think* the common variables in the parent script are being 
wiped out.

For example:

<%
  var foo = currentNode.getNode('foo');

  sling.include('/my/content/foobar.html');

  var bar = foo.getNode('bar');
%>

If the script mapped to /my/content/foobar.html contains a variable 
'foo', then the last statement will give an error, because foo is now 
undefined in the parent.

I haven't had a chance to create a definite test case to verify it yet, 
but multiple observations of my variables being mysteriously wiped out 
suggest this is what is happening.

Is this to be expected?

Best,
Branden
