angularjs How can I access the ng-repeat array from within my item template

I want to do this...

<span ng-repeat="item in array1" ng-include="'genericItemTemplate.html'">

and this...

<span ng-repeat="item in array2" ng-include="'genericItemTemplate.html'">

and then in the genericItemTemplate.. do this...

[{{$index + 1}} of {{someArrayreference.length}}]

can I reference the array of the ng-repeat within the template?

Use onload, an ng-include optional parameter:

<li ng-repeat="person in personlist=friends" ng-include="'myGenericTemplate.html'"
    onload="len=friends.length"></li>

<li ng-repeat="person in personlist=collegues" ng-include="'myGenericTemplate.html'"
    onload="len=collegues.length"></li>

[{{$index + 1}} of {{len}}] {{person.name}}

Output:

I have friends. They are:
[1 of 2] John a boy who is 25 years old.
[2 of 2] Mary a girl

I also have collegues. They are:
[1 of 3] Hoolio a boy who is 42 years old.
[2 of 3] Kitty a girl
[3 of 3] Marge a girl
