As far as I can tell the thing you are missing is that the [if scratch
testme] and [scratch testme] will not be evaluated until after the loop
is complete, so while the scratch is set in the loop ($Tag->tmp(...))
the evaluation of the scratch is doen after the loop and will evaluate
against the last value you set. I don't know what you're actually
setting it to, but I'd venture to guess that the last value returns
false for the purposes of the [if scratch ...] test.
