Access list item data in a different list

I can't seem to access data from one list in another list.

I have a fake list of inprogress tvshows that contains one item and I need to pass the data to another list:-

<control type="list" id="9002">

  <itemlayout />

  <focusedlayout />

  <content sortby="playcount" sortorder="ascending" limit="1" type="videos">videodb://inprogresstvshows/$INFO[Container(9001).ListItem.DBID]/-2/?tvshowid=$INFO[Container(9001).ListItem.DBID]</content>

</control>

I can access this data in a standard label:-

<control type="label">

  <label>$INFO[Container(9002).ListItem.Title</label>

</control>

Works perfectly as expected, however if I try to access the data from another list's layout it doesn't work:-

<control type="list" id="9000">

  <itemlayout >

    <control type="label">

      <label>$INFO[Container(9002).ListItem.Title</label>

    </control>

  </itemlayout>

  <focusedlayout >

    <control type="label">

      <label>$INFO[Container(9002).ListItem.Title</label>

    </control>

  </focusedlayout>

  <content>   This list already has content  </content>

</control>

Is this a bug?
