First of all, is it empty of does contain a page id? You say opposite things in two paragraphs :(

Secondly, you should know that "select" in content selects content from a current page unless you specify pidInList. This is important for the following part of your TS:

So what you actually get in SQL is: "pages.pid=<current> AND pages.uid=<field_headlink>". I guess it is not correct.
