I can think of 2 different ones:

1. You have the current page number on the master page and show 2 or more 
different pages which use the same master page at the same time in 2 or more 
views, e.g the user have two views open with 2 different pages using the same 
master page.

2. You have the current page number on the master page and you show 2 or more 
different pages which use the same master page at the same time in one view,
e.g. you do a presentation and on you notebook you can see the current and the 
next presentation

I don't have any idea right now but if something come up I let you know.
