Hi,
It is true that Alan has already answered this question but I was misled
because the file that I compiled without problem is this one, even leaving
pair z[ ] (I can think that it is because of this instruction z := point
3.6 of p ;)
\starttext
\startMPpage[offset=2pt]
path p, q, r, b ; pair z ;
p := unitsquare scaled 4cm ;
* z := point 3.6 of p ;*
q := z--urcorner p ;
r := z--urcorner p-- reverse bottomboundary p--cycle ;
b := reverse bottomboundary p ;
%r := q -- reverse bottomboundary p -- cycle ; definition of Hans
draw b--q withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor red ;

so you can't use the same name for a pair. Actually you can simply delete the declaration
pair z[];
I had already told Fabrice this a couple of days ago...
