    Policy element of PolicyType type can not include other policies and PolicySet that can include other policy sets and policy does not include variables

    Quoted example is invalid.

    Subject: [xacml] VariableDefinition scope

    Hello

    can someone confirm that VariableDefinition's scope is the containing policy only, and doesn't include policies within the policy?

    Example:
    <Policy PolicyId="P">

      <VariableDefinition VariableId="V">...
      <VariableDefinition>

      <Policy PolicyId="C">...
      </Policy>

    </Policy>

    So, the variable V can be referenced only from within rules and target of policy P, not policy C.

    thanks,
    argyn
