Based on the second example you emailed me off-list, it appears to be
a scoping problem; that's why the same code works if it's not inside a
function. I will try to debug this soon, but I am not an expert in R
parsing mechanisms so it will take some time. In the mean time, you
can use cpquery(..., method = "lw") instead of the default
cpquery(..., method = "ls") if your query looks like the one in the
example. The former does not rely on unevaluated expressions, but
takes the conditioning values as a list, and it should work
regardless. However, if you do so I suggest you should install the
latest bugfix snapshot from bnlearn.com to avoid a few other bugs in
cpquery(..., method = "lw").
Cheers,
Marco
