Brad, I've seen cases where variable Ref() outputs can interfere with 
previous outputs to give unusual results.  This is specially the case 
when the variable lookback periods in the Ref() function can be 
positive as well as negative.

Code example of a possible problem:
 BarsSince(VariableLookbackData = CurrentData).
