Order of chunk processing & caching

Hi,

I have trouble figuring this out. I edit the chunk to include a snippet. To that snippet I need to pass parameters, and some parameters are placeholders of main chunk. I figured parameters are not passed unless first used above snippet call. To overcome this I call that placeholder in HTML comment.
To illustrate what I'm talking about, here is pseudo-example placed in some chunk:


This does not work to me without a comment. Of course, also not working if used as:


Can this be overcome using Property sets (tried, didn't work). I think I saw something in the docs about creating Property sets in situations like this?

Nested snippets in a tag are parsed before the outer tag is processed, if the nested tags are cacheable or the outer tag is non-cacheable. Property Sets are not parsed in this way, allowing you to pass tags into the Snippet without them being pre-processed and sending the output they produce.

Thanks, just what I needed!
Changed the above code to

and it works.
Edit: I re-read your post, and now I have no idea how it worked [ed. note: gr00__ last edited this post 15 years, 1 month ago.]
