Variable inheritance from nested views

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Drop in attached XML in your CLISH_PATH
2. Then execute following commands:
  a. view1
  b. view2
  c. com2
3.

What is the expected output?
# view1 
(view-hello)# view2
(view2)# com2
Parent view-id hello

What do you see instead?
# view1 
(view-hello)# view2
(view2)# com2
Parent view-id 

Notice that there is no hello above.

What version of the product are you using?
1.6.1

On what operating system?
Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
I defined nested views, view1 and view2 (view1 is parent of view2). Also 
defined "depth" fields in VIEW XML tags. view2 is inheriting view1 commands. In 
this scenario, a command in view2 is not able to  expand a variable defined in 
view1.

Solution:
Looked at the code. Found that while a variable is being expanded, parent's 
view is not getting checked. Attaching a patch which fixes this issue.

It's not a bug. But probably the inheritance of upper viewid is good feature. 
I'll change it in future releases.
