Thanks for the suggestions guys, I tried both ways and I got different
results with each.

That "associate" seemed like the way to go, when I tried that I get the H:T
error
"attempt to set parameter 'items_loop' with a scalar - parameter is not a
TMPL_VAR!"

When I tried the "$content2->param($content->param);" method - I'm not
really sure what happened, it failed when trying to set a tmpl_var that was
the "else" in $content, but $content already contained the flag to mark that
value true, plus it seemed to process forever, it took about 2 mins..

I'm going to keep experimenting and see if I can get something to work, if
you have any other idea, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks
