In general it is not a good practice to refer to Falcon internal variables, but this might be a public one. Will let @Venkatesh confirm this. If it is indeed public, this ought to work, but this may also lead to the possibility of cyclic referencing of properties. A peek into the Oozie logs might give ideas on what might be the reason for coord not starting.
