How to access parent variables from child process?

Maybe the question is trivial, but for the moment i don't know how to fix that.I have a parent process that in a Call Activity initiate an child sub-process, and I try to read variables from variableMap (<b>ctype</b>) in a <b>ScriptTask</b>: <scriptTask id="scripttask4"

Could you post your process definition?
Do you call activity


<callActivity id="callSubProcess" calledElement="checkCreditProcess" >
  <extensionElements>
          <activiti:in source="someVariableInMainProcess" target="nameOfVariableInSubProcess" />
          <activiti:smileysurprised:ut source="someVariableInSubProcss" target="nameOfVariableInMainProcess" />
  </extensionElements>
</callActivity>

Martin Grofčík, thanks for your quick response. Your answer is the right answer. I was thinking that variables from main process are exposed to the sub-process automatically, but they must be explicitly specified.
Thanks!
