Bernd is right here.

It works up to a nesting level of 10

Consider the following constants:

const1 = Foo
const2 = {$const1}
const3 = {$const2}
const4 = {$const3}
const5 = {$const4}
const6 = {$const5}
const7 = {$const6}
const8 = {$const7}
const9 = {$const8}
const10 = {$const9}
const11 = {$const10}


Then this setup:

page = PAGE
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value = {$const10}
page.11 = TEXT
page.11.value = {$const11}

Will output:

Foo{$const1}


So Quan, your example should just work.

Kind regards,
Helmut
