Hi Daniel,
The easiest way I could come up with fast is this:

Use t1[1] instead of t1:

t1[1]:= Print["Hello"]

Use a storage variable:

store = DownValues[t1];

Put then 

t2 := store[[1, 2]]

Then you could change t1, and t2 will anyway print "Hello" each time you
evaluate it.

There are probably better ways.

Best regards

Ingolf Dahl

Hi Ingolf,
unfortunately life is not so easy. t2:=t1 reevaluates t1 each time  t2 
is used. If t1 is changing in between t2 is changed too. What is looked 
for, is a way to get the value of t1 into the definition of t2 without 
evaluating it.
