Hi,

I don't know if \startMPinclusions \stopMPinclusions shall work with
\startMPpage and \stopMPpage. In this case, one can use a separate
graphics:

\startuseMPgraphic{base}

picture p[];
path TheFrame ;
TheFrame := fullsquare scaled 5in ;
z1 = (60,40);
z2 = (40,90);
z3 = (10,70);

p1:=image(
label("Word 1", z1);
);

p2:=image(
label("Mot 2", z2);
);

p3:=image(
label("Parola 3", z3);
);

\stopuseMPgraphic

\starttext

\dorecurse{3}{ % Frame

\startMPpage[pagestate=start]

\includeMPgraphic{base}

currentime := #1 ;
% Just for learning :
draw TheFrame withpen pencircle scaled .1in withcolor magenta ;
draw textext("T="&decimal(currentime)) scaled 2 shifted(0,2in)
withcolor magenta ;
for k=1 upto currentime: addto currentpicture also p[k]; endfor
setbounds currentpicture to TheFrame ;

desiredformat := 1080;% In pixels (will be converted by default at 72dpi)
currentpicture := currentpicture xysized (desiredformat ,desiredformat );
\stopMPpage
}

\stoptext

This overwriting happens only for the first textext() which occurs inside the for k=1 endfor loop. All other textext() inside the for k=1 endfor loop are not drawn at all. If the line « draw textext("T="&decimal(currentime)) scaled 2 shifted(0,2in) withcolor magenta ; » is commented out, the first textext() inside the for k=1 endfor loop is not drawn neither. It must be an issue with textext(), because when I replace textext() by lmt_outline[], the text is drawn.
