Description

class Test {
static main(args) {
c = {
println "outer x:${x}"

c1 = {
println "inner x:${x}"
}

c1()
}

c.setDelegate(x:'hello')

c()
}
}

prints outer x:hello
but throws groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: x for class: Test$3 when trying to print x from the inner closure

I think that this may be the cause of a great deal of the weird behaviour I'm seeing in markup generation
