I believe I'm thinking about this wrong but I can't figure out exactly how,
can anyone here point on my flaw in logic?

LAYOUT:
<h1>Section: <r:content part="section" inherit="true" contextual="false"
/></h1>

PAGE "Authors", PART "section":
<r:slug />

PAGE "Ian M. Banks", NO "section" PART

(Assume the "Ian M. Banks" page is underneath "Authors")

By my way of thinking the "Authors" page part "section" will evaluate to the
Author's page slug, which is "authors", so you'll see:

"Section: Authors"

Which is exactly what it does.

When the "Ian M. Banks" page renders the layout will be processed and the
"section" page part will be requested.  Since this page doesn't have a
"section" page part it will inherit from it's parent's "section", which was
already evaluated to "Authors".  Since the contextual flag was set to false
it won't reprocess the r:slug command in the the context of the current
page, yet it does so you get this:

"Section: Ian M. Banks"

So, the question is why does the r:slug get evaluated in the context of a
child page even though it's actually inheriting from the parent and the
parent explicitly set the the contextual false flag?  Also, is there a
better way to achieve what I'm attempting, creating sections that stay
semi-static?

Thanks,
Shawn
