Parameters defined in terms of other parameters

Is it possible to define parameters in terms of other parameters?

Take for example:

X="Hello"
Y=#X#

Then if I reference #X# in a component return "Hello". Is it possible to do something like this? I am unable to get it working. Y is returning #X# rather than "Hello".

Thanks in advance.

No, you can't do that.

This is a direct corollary of the rule that a running job can not change its own parameter values.
