Sorry, I still don't like it. I never used "private all": this might hide other variables, which I
do need.
Again, of course, this is a hypothetical situation, which might not occur most of the time. But in this case - if you rather work with individual variables than with an "object" - I think it would be preferable
not to hide too many variables - better wait until you see which variable causes you trouble.
OTOH, I still recommend SCATTER NAME as the solution that is likely to cause the least amount of problems.
