Hi Matthew,

I've found that using "save" to "declare" the values as local also works. For
example:

> \startMPinclusions

> \stopMPinclusions

> \starttext 
> \startMPpage 
save a;
> newBox.a(\sometxt{hello world}); 
> a.c = origin;
> drawObj(a);
> \stopMPpage 
> \stoptext

Perhaps this is even slightly more elegant.
