local structures NOT local with new proc/local macros

The consequence of what might be considered bad programming technique, caused a problem for me today. To demonstrate what I think shouldn't happen, I put together this demo. If a local structure has the same name as a previous local structure, the second local structure is given the same structure definition as the first local structure.:

Code:

test_proc       proc    hFti:DWORD, AllOrSome:DWORD
local   lvi:LVITEM
local   .buffer:BYTE    20      dup (?)
local   .row:DWORD
        lea             eax, [lvi.mask]
        lea             eax, [lvi.iItem]
        lea             eax, [lvi.iSubItem]
        lea             eax, [lvi.state]
        lea             eax, [lvi.stateMask]
        lea             eax, [lvi.pszText]
        lea             eax, [lvi.cchTextMax]
        lea             eax, [lvi.iImage]
        lea             eax, [lvi.lParam]
        lea             eax, [lvi.iIndent]
        lea             eax, [.buffer]
        lea             eax, [.row]
        ret
test_proc       endp

test_proc2      proc    hFti:DWORD, AllOrSome:DWORD
local   lvi:LVFINDINFO
local   .buffer:BYTE    20      dup (?)
local   .row:DWORD
        lea             eax, [lvi.flags]
        lea             eax, [lvi.psz]
        lea             eax, [lvi.lParam]
        lea             eax, [lvi.vkDirection]
        lea             eax, [lvi.mask]
        lea             eax, [lvi.iItem]
        lea             eax, [lvi.iSubItem]
        lea             eax, [lvi.state]
        lea             eax, [lvi.stateMask]
        lea             eax, [lvi.pszText]
        lea             eax, [lvi.cchTextMax]
        lea             eax, [lvi.iImage]
        lea             eax, [lvi.lParam]
        lea             eax, [lvi.iIndent]
        lea             eax, [.buffer]
        lea             eax, [.row]
        ret

test_proc2      endp

The first four command lines of test_proc2 won't assemble because lvi here is considered LVITEM--as defined in test_proc--instead of LVFINDINFO. The remaining lines of test_proc2 will assemble if the first four are commented out. I tried everything I could think of: put a . before each lvi; put a . and a space before each lvi (that didn't assemble); but neither allowed lvi to be differentiated.

Thanks for any help. For now I'll just use unique names.

Thanks again for an impressive product!
