the page function always refer to current/top-most context page being executed.

based on this code, i suspect the Page object passed via $params.page is different than current Page being executed.

That would mean that the images would be wrong when using $page instead of page, but they’re correct.

I think you misunderstood @pamubay’s explanation.

The page function gives you access to the top-most page context.

content structure

content/
├── posts/
│   ├── post-1.md
│   ├── post-2.md
│   └── post-3.md
└── _index.md

layouts/home.html

{{ range site.Sections }}
  {{ range .Pages }}
    {{ page.Title }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

This will print the title of content/_index.md (the home page) three times.

If you’re going to use the global page function, you need to know where you started.

And I can assure you that page.Resources.Somemethod works just fine.

Ah, I see. OK, I understand what’s happening now. Thanks to you both!

Why was “page” designed to work that way instead of the way I expected? What’s the useful scenario in that case?
