#+PROPERTY:  var foo="level0"

* Overview

Global vars and local-to-this-subtree vars seem correctly handled.

Effectively, vars set in higher level trees are not passed correctly to the
code block.

* Test code
  :PROPERTIES:
  :var:      bar="level1"
  :END:

** Using the different vars
   :PROPERTIES:
   :var:      baz="level2"
   :END:

#+srcname: test
#+begin_src sh :var foo="valueforthiscodeblock"
echo $foo
echo $bar
echo $baz
#+end_src

#+results: test
| valueforthiscodeblock |
|                       |
| level2                |

As you can see, the "bar" variable is unknown to the code block.

Best regards,
  Seb
