    Hello,

     

    I advice you to create a global object holding all of your variables and then using it by Globals.myvariable.

     

    file 1: globals.js

    var

      Globals = {};

      Globals.myFolderName = "d:\\rootdirectory\\";

     

    file 2 : unit1.js

    //USEUNIT globals

     

    Globals.myFolderName = "c:\\temp\\";

     

    file 3 :  unit2.js

    //USEUNIT globals

    //USEUNIT unit1

     

    Log.Message("My folder is "  + Globals.myFolderName);  // -> c:\temp
