[FLASH-BUGS] Constant parameters from ignored units override parameters from included units.

[Aaron Froese]

Hi Anshu,

But why is setup visiting units that I specifically excluded in the command line AND declared as conflicts?

The constant keyword is not the problem, as I had originally thought.  Removing it does not change the behaviour.
 
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,

The setup script cannot arbitrate between units for the initial values of runtime parameters.
They are picked in the order that setup visits the units. The only place where the parameter
definitions override other definitions is in the Simulations unit, so the way to ensure that
you are getting values you want is to include the parameter definition in you setup directory file.
