You have a closure. XSP is specifically designed to allow you to avoid
them - you just have to use it right. Subs must either be defined in other
packages, or defined in the top level <xsp:logic> section outside of your
result tags. See slide 14 on my AxKit tutorial at
http://axkit.org/docs/presentations/tpc2002/axkit.axp/axkit.pdf - and just
change the <xsp:structure> tag for <xsp:logic> and put your subs in there.
