Issue 18917: Parameter scope (ifml-ftf)
Source: WebRatio Inc (Dr. Marco Brambilla, marco.brambilla(at)webratio.com)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Minor
Summary: Define the scope of parameters. It's not clear where parameters can be referenced.

A sensible rule can be: Scope of the parameter is the component or container where defined, plus everything contained in it.
Resolution: Scope and type of parameters are clarified in Clause 8.3.27 in a new piece of text.
Revised Text: New text added at the end of Clause 8.3.27 - Parameter:

The scope of a Parameter (i.e., the model space where it can be used or referenced) is the InteractionFlowElement that holds the Parameter, plus the incoming and outgoing InteractionFlows. This means that: if the parameter is held by a ViewComponent, it can be referenced only within the ViewComponent itself and the contained ViewComponentParts (plus the incoming and outgoing InteractionFlows); if the parameter is held by a ViewContainer, it can be referenced within the ViewContainer itself, and within the contained ViewContainers, ViewComponents, and ViewComponentParts (plus the incoming and outgoing InteractionFlows).
