Yet another, still simpler, variation on this puzzle:

	property theState : 0

	script Inner
		on showTheState()
			display dialog "State " & theState
		end showTheState
	end script

	script Outer
		Inner
	end script

	set x to Outer

	set theState to 1
	tell Inner to showTheState()
	set theState to 2
	tell Inner to showTheState()

As before, running this program will display "State 0" twice. Either changing the "property" declaration to a "global" declaration, or commenting out the "set x to Outer" statement, will cause it to display "State 1", "State 2".
