I had tried that route but this did not work so I switched to 
"lib.myObject"... However, thanks to your explaination, I noticed that I 
missed to pass "settings: settings" as an argument.

So I added:
<f:render section="paginator" arguments="{pagination: 
pagination,configuration:configuration,settings:settings}" />

some HTML
{settings.myvar}
some HTML

However, this prints "Array"

So what is going wrong here?

Thanks again!

Bert
