You can't.  Not in Applescript.  Many languages have this feature -
it's called "second-level evaluation", and often realized in the form
of an "eval" function or primitive.  The closest thing Applescript has
is 'do script "string"' which doesn't let you get at variables
declared outside of the string, so it's no good for this case.

It would help if the OP would indicate what problem they're trying to solve...
