Hi,

I am trying to write a function which defines some arguments, then uses those 
arguments as arguments of other function calls. It's a bit tricky to explain, 
so a simple example will have to suffice. I imagine this has a simple solution, 
but perusing through environments and other help lists has not helped. Suppose 
I have two functions:


f1 = function(a)
{
    b = a + 1
    b
}
f2 = function(x, z)
{
    y = x*z -2
    y
}

Where I am running into trouble is when I want to call function f1 within 
function f2:

f2(x = 3, z = f1(x))

This returns the error:

"Error in f1(x) : object 'x' not found"

I'm not sure how to define environments within the functions so that the 
just-defined 'x' may be passed as an argument to f1 within f2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
