So presumably some of the code I'm requiring for the app is somehow breaking parameters. I'll have to search more, but clearly the onus is on me; thanks for your help so far.

A simple test in which I define a parameter in one nearly-empty source file and reference it from another works fine.

The context where it's not working is that I'm defining a couple of parameters at the top of a source file after requiring 20 other modules. In that case, a reference to either of the parameters I defined yields #!null.

I'll have to do a binary search of the requires and see where parameters go south.

Thanks again for the help.
