New issue 1722 by aalto.t...@gmail.com: It is not explained in the user guide that variables that contain variables from variable file are not resolved.
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1722

The RF User Guide does not explain that variables that contain variables from variable file are not resolved. See issue 1714 for example.

Perhaps some sort of note or remark in the creating-variables-directly chapter would be in place. Example: NOTE: It is not possible to use Robot Framework variable syntax in the variable file, because the variables inside of the variable are not resolved. Example: MY_VAR = "${EXECDIR}${/}tmp" would not lead to desired result. But this can be done example like this: os.path.join(os.path.abspath('.'), 'tmp') [2]
