Susy multiple containers demo
$total-columns: 6;
$column-width: 4em;
$gutter-width: 1em;
$grid-padding: $gutter-width;
// The default container
.container1 { @include container(); }
// A container with a 12 columns instead
@include layout(12) {
.container2 { @include container(); }
// include any other code that should use this grid...
}
// For a container with completely new settings
// simply override the initial variables:
$total-columns: 24;
$column-width: 2em;
$gutter-width: .5em;
$grid-padding: 0em;
// A container with a completely different grid
.container3 { @include container(); }
// With this solution, you just have to be careful
// that the correct variable values are being used for each block of code.
// You can simplify by making a mixin to handle it:
@mixin grid-settings(
$cols: $total-columns,
$width: $column-width,
$gutter: $gutter-width,
$padding: $grid-padding
){
// keep the defaults around
$default-cols: $total-columns;
$default-width: $column-width;
$default-gutter: $gutter-width;
$default-padding: $grid-padding;
// use the new settings
$total-columns: $cols;
$column-width: $width;
$gutter-width: $gutter;
$grid-padding: $padding;
// apply to contents
@content;
// re-instate the defaults
$total-columns: $default-cols;
$column-width: $default-width;
$gutter-width: $default-gutter;
$grid-padding: $default-padding;
}
// Now you can use it like this:
@include grid-settings(12,3em,1.5em,1em) {
.container4 { @include container(); }
// include any other code that should use this grid...
}
// hmmmm... that might be worth adding to the core...

Ran across this too.

On http://getclank.com/ the demos page had to be liquid but the others magic.

I solved it this way https://gist.github.com/Wolfr/5788239
