Thanks James, I understand they should have both failed, that's the issue I
am trying to sort out. I don't believe any #raw statements are present but
I'll take a look tomorrow. Once I handed it over, the guy ran with it and
is a huge fan as am I. So hardy thanks to all the contributors.
When I commented everything out of the snippet with a "$" things worked as
expected. But again, it should have failed on both levels. Very odd indeed.
An errant #raw would make sense though so I'll pour though the previous
snippets to make sure something else isn't out of whack.
Thanks again

No, frankly both of them should have caused issues, the oddity is
that the
top-level one did not. Are you sure there weren't any #raw blocks in there?
