Hi:

I have a project with a few different types of documents, so I want to 
set up a few local environments in the same global environment file.

Is the following a legitimate environment file?

\startenvironment Layout
    ... some global settings ...

    \startlocalenvironment[Alternative]
      ... some local settings ...
    \stoplocalenvironment

\stopenvironment

If it is legitimate, how do I specify that a document use the global 
settings with specific settings from the local environment.
I tried

           \environment Layout
           \localenvironment Alternative

but any macros defined in the local environment are reported as undefined.

Thanks,

Matt
