Try doing this:

Move: [fly-list code="[data session arg]"] to the very top of your
flypage.html (make sure you move it, not copy).

Below that do a:

[tmp current-sku][item-code][/tmp]

In your included top template you can get a hold of the product being
viewed in the variable: [scratch current-sku], use it as you see fit.  I
do this very thing when I need to pass the sku being viewed to control
components.

Good luck!
