Hi Martin,

It seems that I just hit a very hard to solve issue which needs
not yet available support from the luatex side.

Patricks solution seems not very practical and error prone, so I
settled with this ugly but still readable workaround:

\def\cmd
	{\newdimen\mydimen
	 \mydimen=50pt}

\starttexdefinition action
	\cmd
	\startluacode
		if tex.dimen.mydimen < tex.dimen.textwidth then %
			context("is smaller")
		else %
			context("is not smaller")
		end %
	\stopluacode
\stoptexdefinition

\action


Marco
