The template defines its own scope. If you create a topic via ?foo
within a template, ?foo is not visible outside of the template (unless
you use ?foo as parameter to call another template).


?foo   # -> topic 1


def tpl()
    ?foo # -> topic 2
    tpl2(?foo)      # tpl2 gets "topic 2"
end

def tpl2($x)
   [...]
end


?foo  # -> topic 1


Yes, it's not that clear from the spec., but it's clear in my mind and
I'll transfer my thoughts into the spec asap. ;)

Best regards,
Lars
