What is the example supposed to mean? It doesn't make sense. As a best
guess, what you actually want to do is access the parameter values of a
resource *instance*, not (as you wrote) the parameter[ definition]s of a
resource *type*. It might be possible to do that (involving somewhat
different manifest syntax), but it would be decidedly non-idiomatic.
Why do you want this? Your example is too abstract to tell me much.
