Question

As demonstrated in Sandbox/RM_Resource_List and Sandbox/RM_Resource_List_Use, I am unable to use a Set variable in content included from another page. Specifically, both example links on Sandbox/RM_Resource_List work, but only the first example link on Sandbox/RM_Resource_List_Use works. The second link attempts to go to

http://%mps%=0132417995/

In my first attempt, I neglected to include the section that contains the Set. Even after adding this, however, the mps variable does not get expanded in the "Rails Plugins - Adam 2" inclusion.

I suspect that I could make the inclusion work by defining mps in each included section, but this would eliminate much of the benefit derived from using a variable. As I would like to use quite a few of these variables in my Resource List, minimizing overhead is an important consideration. That said, I don't really care about the exact syntax; I just want a way to avoid putting this text string in each of the included sections.

I added a third case to your example that works, using the SET and GET functions of SpreadSheetPlugin.
