| The last time I commented on this, about a week ago, I was sure that both the properties and handlers of the calling (parent) script were available in the called (child) script. But, today, when a child script needed a property in the parent, I got an undefined variable error.
When I first said that properties were inherited, I has done experiments confirming that. The experiment scripts have since been trashed.
Today, I searched "AppleScriptLanguageGuide.pdf" for info and found this on page 65 ...
The previous example demonstrates an important point about inherited properties: to refer to an inherited property from within a child script object, you must use the reserved word my or of me to indicate that the value to which you’re referring is a property of the current script object. (You can also use the words of parent to indicate that the value is a property of the parent script object.) If you don’t, AppleScript assumes the value is a local variable. For example, if you refer to vegetable instead of my vegetable in the changeVegetable handler in the previous example, the result is "Spinach". For related information, see “The it and me Keywords” (page 40).
So I tried it. Nothing. Using variations on a theme with or without the phrases 'my', 'me' or 'of parent' make no difference at all. OR ... Is there some small item I'm missing?
