How to override parameters in the same block - ADEXL Global Variables

Hello, I was wondering if you could help with the following issue:

The vendor's provided model file has a definition for a parameter (param1) which I would like to override. Both definitions would happen in the same "block" (same level). The way I'm trying to do this, with no success, is as follows:

A. Define a Global Variable in ADEXL as param1 = 0

B. The netlist (input.scs) generated is:

....

parameters param1 = 0

include "vendor's model file"  (In this model file a definition of param1 = 1 exists)

.....

C. A warning in "spectre.out" is created:

 WARNING (SFE-2297): "vendor's model file": Parameter `param1' is already defined in the same block, previous definition is ignored.

It seems to me that I would need to revert the order of declaration as described in B.,but I don't know how to do it.

Would there another way to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,

Wil
