No. PRIVATE line is necessary.
A:

PRIVATE pippo
STORE "        " TO pippo
RELEASE pippo

vs

B:

STORE "        " TO pippo
RELEASE pippo

B: is slower and bad

Bad programming because it can overwrite a private variable on the stack
Slower, because VFP has to look for in the stack if a private variable exists,
and later it has to define the private variable.
