According to the GenDoc documentation gPut() can be used to:
Quote:

Link a value to a specific key. This variable can be used all over the document (including other gendoc parts) using gGet

Actually if it's possibel to create a new global value using gPut() it appears that once set, this value cannot be changed. If so, the name "variable" is usurpated since this is rather a constant.

Did I missed something?

No you don't miss something
actually gPut mechanism should replace the value the second time, but Acceleo uses a cache for queries.
This means that once a query is called in an Acceleo template it will always return the same value for the same parameter that explain why gPut works only the first time. We should change the documentation to prevent users
