subprocess in its own file to make it 1) reusable and 2) make the main xml smaller cause it is getting big. so i create a simple subprocess that if called within the same xml works ok, but once i create a callActivity and i move the subprocess to another file it doesnt work anymore. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>This works:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR
