Paul,
I don't know kilofox but the technique you outlined is one of those that I use passing and/or retrieving multiple parameters at once (in the past I was calling it parameter cargo but I think it wasn't understood what I mean in English:)
Public variables are not more lazy programming, they're more 'hard work' programming IMHO:)
