Hello,

Oh, thanks Nicolas for the tip.  But it does not work in a reliable
manner.

Calling `org-babel-execute-buffer' in the following snippet, raises:
(error "Reference `pid-result' not found in this buffer")

#+NAME: pid
#+BEGIN_SRC shell :results value :cache no
printf '%s' "${$}"
#+END_SRC

#+NAME: pid-result
#+RESULTS: pid

#+NAME: echo-pid
#+BEGIN_SRC shell :var DATA=pid-result :results value
printf '%s' "${DATA}"
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: echo-pid

Using the C-c C-c on the blocks also does not work...  unless you also
do a C-c C-c on `#+NAME: pid-result' which is cumbersome if you have a
chain of blocks and results.  Do you think that this can be fixed
easily?

Thanks in advance,
Daniele
