I have a template with the following setup:

{exp:channel:entries channel="home"}

{embed="includes/contact_form"}

{/exp:channel:entries}

The embedded template contains a form and this form has the following hidden fields:

<input type="hidden" name="source_title" value="{title}" />
<input type="hidden" name="source_url" value="{page_uri}" />

But the {title} and {page_uri} variables don’t get assigned.  Is this a scope issue?

These variables work if I include the form as a snippet rather than an embedded template.  Is there a way to do it as an embedded template?

Yes, it’s a scope issue. If you want to have access to the calling template’s values, as it were, you need to pass them on to the embed.
