Hi,
Why does (1) compile, whereas (2) doesn't?
I can't understand why can MPinclusions store path and not pairs.

More generaly, which kind of variables cannot be stored in
\startMPinclusions ?
those that are likely to clash later
\startMPinclusions
vardef MyStuff =
numeric u;
u:=1mm ;
path p ;
p:= (0,0) -- (150u,0) -- (150u,95u) -- (0,95u) -- cycle ;
pair x[] ;
x[0]:= (20u,90u) ;
x[1]:= (40u,90u) ;
x[2]:= (90u,90u) ;
x[3]:= (140u,90u) ;
enddef ;
\stopMPinclusions
\startreusableMPgraphic{test}
save p, u, x ;
MyStuff ;
draw p ;
for i=0 step 1 until 3 :
drawdot x[i] ;
endfor ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
\reuseMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext
but in your case you could as well put the inclusions in the test
graphic itself
\startreusableMPgraphic{test}
save p, u, x ;
numeric u;
u:=1mm ;
path p ;
p:= (0,0) -- (150u,0) -- (150u,95u) -- (0,95u) -- cycle ;
pair x[] ;
x[0]:= (20u,90u) ;
x[1]:= (40u,90u) ;
x[2]:= (90u,90u) ;
x[3]:= (140u,90u) ;
draw p ;
for i=0 step 1 until 3 :
drawdot x[i] ;
endfor ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
\reuseMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext
