Some languages have the option, not to make the variable local (or the equivalent in the corresponding language) by default, but to give a compiler error if the variable is not properly declared. I have seen something like this in Visual Basic, I think it was a command like "option explicit". (Note: My familiarity with VB is very superficial.)
I would expect Visual FoxPro to behave similarly, with some option to give an error, or perhaps a warning, for non-declared variables - but I suspect it hasn't been implemented yet, even in the newest versions. Nor do I know if it would be easy to implement.
