* JvInterpreter permits one unit to overwrite the constants and global variables of another unit (and the last loaded value will be used by ''all loaded units''). However, it throws errors if a unit ends up "overwriting" ''its own'' variables as a result of being used multiple times (which can happen if you use multiple interdependent units). These errors occur even if the multiply-used unit defines its global variables in its implementation block, and even if it is only used from the implementation blocks of other units (implementation blocks are supposed to be roughly analogous to a private scope). This means that the global scope isn't safe to use when building libraries. | |||
