The following code produces the letter "J" on the first page, but does
not draw that same picture on the second page.  I would appreciate some
advice on how to save and redraw this label in subsequence figures.
Thanks,
Troy Henderson
\starttext
     \startMPinclusions[+]
         picture J;
     \stopMPinclusions
     \startMPpage
         J:=thelabel(btex J etex scaled 2,origin);
         draw J;
     \stopMPpage
     \startMPpage
         draw J;
     \stopMPpage
\stoptext
\starttext
     \startMPinclusions[+]
         vardef J = thelabel(textext("J") scaled 2,origin) enddef ;
     \stopMPinclusions
     \startMPpage
         draw J;
     \stopMPpage
     \startMPpage
         draw J;
     \stopMPpage
\stoptext

as text in handled at the tex end it is lost after graphic is done; 
imlemeno it ting selective persistence is possible but messy; maybe some 
day i'll do it
