I would emphasize something in what fastfsfgs linked: *New AngularJS developers often do not realize that ng-repeat, ng-switch, ng-view and ng-include all create new child scopes, so the problem often shows up when these directives are involved. *
When coding Angular I often just assume that all directives do this if they are not isolate, and it saves me a lot of headaches.
