Meteor: Access Template Helper (or variable) from another helper

How can I reference a template helper from another one? For example...

Template.XXX.helpers({
    reusableHelper: function() {
        return this.field1 * 25 / 100; //or some other result
    },
    anotherHelper: function() {
        if (this.reusableHelper() > 300) //this does not work
            return this.reusableHelper() + ' is greater than 300'; 
        else
            return this.reusableHelper() + ' is smaller than 300';
    }
});

I have also tried Template.instance().__helpers.reusableHelper - all with no luck.

Alternatively is there a way to define reactive Template instance variables?

XXX is a sub-template that renders multiple times on the same page.

This like using of common code, you can make another javascript function which contains the your reusable code and call it from wherever you required.

Like in your code-

function calcField(field){
   return field * 25 / 100
}

and in you template helper-

Template.XXX.helpers({
    reusableHelper: function() {
        return calcField(this.field1); 
    },
    anotherHelper: function() {
        if (calcField(this.field1) > 300) 
            return calcField(this.field1) + ' is greater than 300'; 
        else
            return calcField(this.field1) + ' is smaller than 300';
    }
});

you can use Session variables or Reactive variable
