Dumb question, do the two variables in question have the same name?  If
so, this \
makes perfect sense as the variables are managed within the same
velocity context.  \
The top.vm is parsed along with the layout and other navigation
templates, and as \
such, they share they use the same context.   This why each portlet,
control and \
controller template have their own individual scoped context's, to
avoid stepping on \
each others' feet.

Scott,
  Not a dumb question.  And to answer the question, the variables have
different names.  They have the same beginning and the same end but the
middle of the variable names is different.  Different is different. 
Velocity shouldn't have any problem distinguishing that these are two
different references.
