Hi Craig: To reiterate and summarize Ken's excellent advice, your solution includes any or all of: 1. Variables - bind global variables to your respective trees and you can always get from one to the other; 2. Tunnel parameters - a very powerful way of passing "context" or "calling state" through a chain of templates (of arbitrary depth), so there when you need it, e.g. recalling a 'home' node; 3. Keys - permit accessing arbitrary nodes across system boundaries (including document boundaries), given any associations (value or context-based) of interest.
