Does that imply that the variable $pagename is 'globally' available for 
per-group and per-page customization scripts?

Btw, is this "flow" of how scripts are invoked documented somewhere? It 
might be useful to be able to refer to it when saying something like:

	And after 'local.php' has been executed, the variable $pagename
	contains the group/name of the current page. See ?? for details
	on the order that customization scripts are invoked.
