Hey guys, i just had a question, it doesn’t have any high priority rather than simple curiosity to further my understanding of the system.

Why am i able to put
```
{exp:channel:entries channel="something"} {title} {/exp:channel:entries}
```
in an embed template. however i am not able to put
```
{title}
```
in an embed template when the
```
{exp:channel:entries channel="something"} {/exp:channel:entries}
```
is surrounding the area where the embed template is being embedded?

Is it because the ee tag code is being parsed before the embed template is being fetched? And if that’s the case, I understand that Snippets are fetched early so it’s not an issue there, how about global variables? Just curious, thanks for clarifying guys. 😊

Embedded templates are parsed as their own entity.

Snippets are parsed as part of their containing template, which is why this would work in a Snippet.
