Velocimacros calling velocimacros?

Hi,

I have the following defined in my GlobalMacros.vm:

#macro (sectionIndex)
	#foreach ( $sectionlink in $sgslocation.SectionIndex )
	  link:
	  #mochalink ( $sectionlink $sectionlink.Title )
	  <BR/>
	#end
#end

#macro (mochaLink $mochalink $linktitle)
	<A HREF="$link.setPage("$mochalink.VelocityURI").addPathInfo("action", 
"UpdateLocation").addQueryData("sectionpath", 
"$mochalink.SectionPath").addQueryData("pageid", 
"$mochalink.PageID")">$linktitle</A>
#end

However, when I call

#sectionIndex

from a screen I get the following output in my browser:

link: #mochalink ( Section [title='Intervention' index='1' 
path='bingeeating.bequiz-feedback.be-conseq1.intervention'] Intervention )
link: #mochalink ( Section [title='No Intervention' index='2' 
path='bingeeating.bequiz-feedback.be-conseq1.nointervention'] No 
Intervention )

It looks like Velocity is calling #sectionIndex fine but won't call 
#mochaLink in turn, rather it simply expands #sectionlink and 
#sectionlink.Title.  Is this expected behavior?  Is there a flag somewhere 
that allows me to call macros from other macros?  Or is this sort of 
functionality not supported, e.g. implement all behavior in sectionIndex 
rather than calling mochaLink in turn?

Thanks,
Derek

Hi Derek,

you have to define the mochaLink-macro prior the sectionIndex-macro.
As I recall Velocity does not support forward-declarations of macros

Duh.  Changed mochalink to mochaLink and all works great.  Sorry for the chaff.

Cheers,
Derek
