Hi Nicolas,
I tried "c", and it gives me:

>>> c <<<

as the result.

I would like it to use the _variable_ "c", not the literal string.
So the result should be ">>> test <<<"

I've also cleaned up the Org I made (something went wrong when I pasted
it before, it missed an #+END_SRC)
Thanks!
#+NAME: block-1
#+BEGIN_SRC shell :var x="X"

echo ">>>" $x "<<<" #+END_SRC

#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC shell :var c="test" y=block-1("c")
echo $y
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: >>> c <<<
