[Users] param.ccl: accessing non-restricted variables of another thorn?

[Scott Hawley]

I'm talking about a parameter.   So why isn't 'SHARES: ' working?

....ah, Ok.  so "SHARES: ' in param.ccl but NO "INHERITS: ' in interface.ccl
 will go through the CST ok.

But then I'm unable to use the variable in my code:

/Users/shawley/Cactus/configs/texmex/build/TexMEx/initial.cc:1059:47:
error: 'ADMMass_number' was not declared in this scope

This occurs whether I prefix it with 'ADMMass::' or not.

I didn't see a ".h" file to include from ADMMass.

So, I guess I still need help.
