The code below defines a function with parameter x. The body contains
another function definition which uses this parameter. Why do "inner x
is" and "outer x is" lines start reporting different values at one
point?

f1[x_] := (
  f2[y_] := (Print["inner x is ", x]; If[x + 1 < 3, f1[x + 1], 1]);
  (Print["outer x is ", x]; f2[#]) & /@ Range[2];
  )
f1[1]
