Something similar was discussed on this topic earlier. I think it would
be handy to be able to identify a variable with its section name,
something like:

{{$sectionname:foo}}

would print the current value of foo for the section. If the section is
omitted and you are within a section block, then  the current section is
assumed. With this in mind, you could re-loop every value no matter what
is nested.

example:

{{section sec1}}
        ...
        {{ $foo }}
	{{ $sec1:foo }}      <!-- prints the same variable as $foo -->
         ...
        {{section sec2}}
                ...
                {{ $foo }}
		{{ $sec2:foo }}	<!-- prints the same variable as $foo -->
		{{ $sec1:foo }}	<!-- prints value of outer section foo variable -->
                 ...
        {/section}}
{{/section}}
