Hello,  
I'm searching for the method to use scripted field in coding another scripted field.  
For beginning, is it possible ?

i explain...  
i have a SF named **lap1**.  
The associed script is : `(doc['TimeTab2'].value - doc['TimeTab1'].value) / 1000 / 60`

i have a SF named **lap2**.  
The associed script is : `(doc['TimeJmp2'].value - doc['TimeJmp1'].value) / 1000 / 60`

i would create a new SF named **lapFinal** whith this script : `lap1 + lap2`

My question : is it possible and how to do ?  
Thanks.
