OK! Actually what I want to do is something like this:

Page Main.Test1 with content:


(:FOO:bar:)

{$:FOO}

Page Main.Test2 with content:

(:FOO:{Main.Test1$:FOO}:)

{$:FOO}

"bar" is printed on both of these pages when saved.

Then I have a pagelist:


(:pagelist $:FOO=bar:)

but only Main.Test1 is listed.

It seems like pagelist have a problem with variables set this way?
