The scope of a declaration of variables is usually a JSP file, but if the
JSP file includes other files with the include directive, the scope expands
to cover the included files as well. If you want your bean or custom tag to
use the variable it must be passed in to the bean or custom tag using the
expressions syntax (between <%=variable_name %>). The expression syntax
casts the result as a String. I hope I understand your question and this
helps.
