Thanks for your reply Susan,
No, the placeholder isn’t set by the snippet. Actually, I may have used the wrong language: the value "myValue" is set with a property from a chunk call. So, for completeness:
In a document (cacheable), I have the following chunk call:
[[$TestChunk?mypropertyvalue=`SomeValue`]]
In TestChunk chunk I have:
[[!TestSnippet? &mypropertyvalue=`[[+mypropertyvalue]]`]]
In TestSnippet I try and access "$mypropertyvalue", either directly or through $scriptProperties
var_dump($scriptProperties);
//Actually, when this is rendered the placeholder gets replaced onscreen, so I do something like
$letters = str_split($mypropertyvalue,1);
foreach($letters as $letter) echo $letter." ";
//Outputs: [ [ + t e s t v a l u e ] ]
// Would expect $mypropertvalue to equal "SomeValue" here
When the snippet is called cached in the chunk it works OK (but for the real implementation I need it to be uncached).
I have tried it with all tags being called uncached too (e.g. the initial chunk call, the "mypropertyvalue" property placeholder in the chunk, and the TestSnippet snippet call).

It would work if you used different placeholder names.
