Overriding macros when calling VBP scripts?

If you have the same project level macros in a set of scripts, is there any way of overriding the macro when calling a child script?

For example:
Script A defines project macro ABC value 1
Script B defines project macro ABC value 2

If A calls B, is there a way to get B to use value 1?

Yes -- temporary macros override project macros. In the child project, reference the macro like %ABC%, and include a parameter Name ABC / Value %ABC% when calling the child project.
