Hi Tim-
Your investigation is correct. Any template can have a model class attached. So
at the time of an area rendering the system will look to see if there was a
model class defined on the area template. If so, it's executed, otherwise
nothing. The system would not look for parent model to execute or something
like that.
So I see two possibilities. You can create an area model which exposes a public
method for accessing the parent model. Or you pass the data into the area
rendering through a context parameter. If it were me I'd use the latter.
Something like:
[code][@cms.area name="myArea" contextAttributes={"myData":model.data}][/code]
