Hi Tim-

Your investigation is correct. Any template can have a model class attached. So 
at the time of an area rendering the system will look to see if there was a 
model class defined on the area template. If so, it's executed, otherwise 
nothing. The system would not look for parent model to execute or something 
like that. 

So I see two possibilities. You can create an area model which exposes a public 
method for accessing the parent model. Or you pass the data into the area 
rendering through a context parameter. If it were me I'd use the latter.

Something like:
[code][@cms.area name="myArea" contextAttributes={"myData":model.data}][/code]

Hmmm
[code]public class RenderingModelImpl 
implements RenderingModel {
@Override
public RenderingModel getParent() {
return this.parentModel;
}
...
}[/code]

i think i know what is "wrong". I set model class to page, but trying to access 
public methods in sub area. Area have it's own model and no execution happens. 
Is it possible to get access to parent model?

Put parent model to context it' not solution for me :)
