I consider PHP a very mature scripting language and I consider thier scoping rules very well thought out most likely very carefully discussed.  After using the language for several years I haven't really found fault with them.  It make me think it's worth copying what they have done.  And thus:

I think Aaron and I are suggesting:

Set file scope variable
    set "var" "Hello Kitty";

Set global scope variable, where global affects all scripts that come into existance with the include spec
    set :global "var" "Hello Kitty";

Set local scope variable, where local affects the current and nested command block (filescope if not currently in a control block.)  (would doubt would ever be used)
    set :local "var" "Hello Kitty";

And Kjetil seems to disagree.  Anybody else out there have any opinions?
