Actually I don't think that's true. Fox code is precompiled and certain commands have essentially no runtime affect. Variable declarations in particular don't cause any runtime overhead they're just markers for the compiler when it parses the code. Variable scope is something the compiler fixes up. I'm not sure whether EXTERNAL is different but I'm pretty sure it's the same as LOCAL/PRIVATE etc. which are basically compiler directives. After all even if you compile and get the error the code runs just fine.
