FYI, in Bricolage templates, the Mason interpreter only lasts for the 
duration of a single burn. That means that the component is removed 
from memory after burning a single story.

However, I've realized that you can use another approach that should 
work just as well, as long as you take advantage of the change I'll 
check in shortly. The change will allow the $burner object to be 
available in %once blocks during the syntax check. The $story and 
$element objects won't be during the syntax check, but all three will 
be available during a story burn. So you'll shortly be able to do this:

     <%once>
     my @all_story;
     unless ($burner->get_mode == SYNTAX_MODE) {
         my %pub = $burner->get_mode == PUBLISH_MODE
           ? ( publish_status => 1)
           : ();
         @all_story = Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Story->list(\%pub);
     }
     </%once>

I'll add something to the FAQ about this.

David
