Read Events and Clear Events are the key points here. Without them it would not work this way.

We have main application, which in turn calls sub-applications. Each sub-application receives parameters via parameter statement (so they would be private) into main program. The main program calls a form
do subappl with "Something", "Something"

subappl main program

parameters tcPar1, tcPar2

do form MainForm 

return

tcPar1, tcPar2 would be visible in form's load, but not other methods. I agree, the situation is slightly different with your example.
