Hi Dima,

Thank you very much. I used arbitrary uid values for the constants some 
of which didn't exist in the page tree. And was perplexed again because 
those values didn't appear anywhere in the template. But then I realised 
my mistake and thanks to your beautiful solution things are working fine 
now.
