how can i reuse same variables that i create using <c:set var="index" />

hi all,

please some one helpme!!!!!!

how can i reuse same variable that i create using

<c:set var="index" value="${0}"/>

cause later in the program i use index to do some condition and based on that i increment ...

so for example if i say...

<c:iftest="${index==0}">

<c:set var="index" value="${index+1}"/>

</c:if>

will it be like

if(index==0)

{

index++;

}

can i do like i did be4. if not what do i need to do to reuse. cause i use the variable atleast 5 time and its keep changing on diff condition level.
