Yes, this is expected behaviour. Calc assumes a sequential evaluation, especially when the same variable is given a value more than once. It's not like most modelling languages which look at the ensemble of equations simultaneously. [...] > Which begs the question: what should be `x'? Ideally, it would follow the Calc convention and would be the value last given (before point, where the table is), I guess. But, at least, for simple cases where variables are not overwritten, what you have done would be sufficient (and a really nice addition to the Calc package!). I intend to use it for sure.
