Stoopid me.  Yes, of course.  I had tried that without success and I
had concluded that they were evaluated in two different contexts,
while instead I had just omitted the .result(binding) in the import
method.

About the `strange' thing I pointed out, it happened because the
imported ERbLight overwrote the already compiled source.  By passing a
binding from the main source to the imported one, _erbout got
evaluated in the context of the main source.  By changing _erbout so
another name all went well.

I'm really happy with ERb so far.  I'm finding I can reproduce almost
all functionalities I used with the Template Toolkit and I'm sure
there's a whole new lot waiting.  Thanks for bringing this to us!
