 +====== < subdialog > ======
  
 +===== Description =====
 +
 +The <subdialog> element invokes another dialog as a subdialog of the current one. The subdialog is a reusable dialog that allows values to be returned.  The subdialog executes in a new execution context with all variables and execution states initialized. Values can be passed into the subdialog using <param> child elements; the subdialog must contain the <var> variable declaration for each parameter.  The original dialog can continue execution only when the subdialog executes the <return> element.  Returned values are available as properties of the <subdialog> field item variable.
