  It's an option, but not the only one.  You can use Perl or Python, too.

  There are no variables in the server, so you cannot put values from
one query into another.  There ARE radius attributes.  You can put
values from one query into a radius attribute, and use that attribute in
another query.

  This is much, much, easier in 2.0.  See "man unlang".
