Variable Conflicts Inter-Plugin?

Hey everyone,

I’m probably missing something very juvenile here, but I’m writing a plugin that passes an array to the template class’ parse_variables function that looks something like this:

- 0
 - url (string)
 - name (string)
 - items (array)
    - 0
       - title (string)
       - url (string)

And so in my template, my tags would looks something like this:

{exp:myspecialplugin:get_entries}
     The top-level URL is: {url}
     {items]
          Item Title: {title}
          Item URL: {url}
     {/items}
{/exp:myspecialplugin:get_entries}

The problem with my code is that it appears the {items} URL variable is conflicting with the top-level URL variable. Am I crazy? I thought that EE’s template parser would parse outward by default and so the variable conflicts shouldn’t occur? Is there any suggested means of working around this issue without prefixing every inner array?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
