Can I pass a table function parameter like this?

Question

This works. Notice I am passing the required table function parameter using the declared variable.
DECLARE @Date DATE = '2014-02-21'
SELECT
h.*, i.SomeColumn
FROM SomeTable h
LEFT OUTER JOIN SomeTableFunction(@Date) I ON i.ID = h.ID
WHERE h.SomeDate = @Date
But I guess you can't do this?... because I'm getting an error saying h.SomeDate cannot be bound. Notice in this one, I am attempting to pass in the table function parameter from the SomeTable it is joined to by ID.
DECLARE @Date DATE = '2014-02-21'
SELECT
h.*, i.SomeColumn
FROM SomeTable h
LEFT OUTER JOIN SomeTableFunction(h.SomeDate) I ON i.ID = h.ID
WHERE h.SomeDate = @Date

Hi
NO you cant pass a table function parameter like this?
As When you declare @date assign value to it and pass as a parameter it will return table which you can use for join as you did it in first code 
But when you pass date from some other table for generating table from your funtion it doesnt have date as it is not available there
