Pass message between websocket-in and websocket-out

General

How to pass message between websocket-in and websocket-out node? I have set a msg.device before websocket-in node and want to get it after websocket-out node, but I got undefined.
I cannot use flow variables to save it, because it will be overwrited if I execute the same flow many times at the same time

There is a built in demo (CTRL-I --> examples --> node-red --> network)

Here is the websocket example adjusted to send/recieve entire message...

Demo Flow (use CTRL-I to import)

Thanks for your reply.Maybe I didn't express clearly. The websocket in and out node connect the outside server, not the server created in node-red
