This is expected - foo is no longer in scope. Use $(X.foo) if you want 
the lazy binding to work after you left the X's scope or use $,(foo) if 
you want eager binding.

This might be worth considering, but it wouldn't happen overnight. Feel 
free to file an RFE in Bugzilla (making sure it is assigned to Jason, 
who is our main grammar guru).
