    incorporating the definition for the parameter in the selected sub-routine that are unknown to the calling unit into the calling unit using the computer processor;

    executing the process of the calling unit using the computer processor; and

    binding the definition for the parameter in the sub-routine to the definition of the parameter contained in the calling unit using the computer processor, such that;

    the binding is based on contexts in the calling unit; and
