Ok -- my guess is that the reason that the hathi-id is not available is because it is defined out of scope.  The id should be defined within the template that you wish to access it -- or it needs to be defined outside of the for-each block so that it can be defined globally.  However, a global variable really isn't what would be idea -- the id should be defined specifically within the template where it is called.
