  You're going to need to give more details than that. What exactly are you doing (example code, preferably)?

  Like TheMadExile said, an example of what your trying to do would help.
  
  The Harlowe overview states that the (passage:) macro can be used to access meta information (like name, tags, and source) about a passage. The following example show how output the meta information of the current passage being display as well as of a second passage named Other Passage
  
  note: I assign the datamap returned by the (passage:) macro to a local variable because I want to access multiple properties of the datamap, you don't have to do this.

  (set: $info to (passage:))
  This is the (print: $info's name) passage, it has the following tags '(print: $info's tags)'.
  
  (set: $info to (passage: "Other Passage"))
  This story contains another passage, it's name is '(print: $info's name)' and it has the following tags '(print: $info's tags)'.
  

  
  If you want to display the contents of one passage inside another you should be using the (display:) macro like so:

  This is the current passage it includes the contents of a different passage.
  
  (display: "Other Passage")
