I'm not sure exactly what you are thinking, but I kind of have the
gist of it. I think if you use external templates (ie
template=some.page) you won't have any problem. If you can't, or
prefer not to, you might try doing `{+p} to block a template from
processing the first time, but allowing it to process the second time.
Not sure this will work, but it's worth a try.
We also have a built in counter function that may make things a whole
lot easier. You can have multiple counts going simultaneously by
giving each a unique id. Something like [(counter id=column1 "+"
output=true)]. It actually has quite a few powerful options. Don't
know if there is a good tutorial up but I'd be happy to get you
started if you can't find any info at BoltWire, or can't make heads or
tails of the code.
Cheers,
Dan
