Your wording is very confusing or perhaps you haven't stated
your problem quite right. When you say you "ask for x[[1]]" what
does that mean if not entering x[[1]] somewhere? And if that is
what you mean, then since
In[14]:= x = {2, 7};
In[15]:= x[[1]]
Out[15]= 2
then there is something wrong with what you wrote above.
Generally, it is better to post some code to eliminate this kind
of confusion.
