Hey Lukas, I'm not entirely certain what you're asking. Do you want to know how to pass info from the tag to the inner-loop? If you're programming the inner-loop tag yourself, you can simply do a findAncestorWithClass(this, MyTag.class) in the innerloop class. This presents you with the instance of the parent whom you can query for the information that was given to it.
If not, please clarify your problem a little further.
