That's one of the problems of bundling... You have to change some of 
the core. The best way I figured, is to make the overriding changes 
in the skin.php rather than in local configs and then any other skin 
that's built on the core will still be working.

that's php stuff. In functions and included files, you have to 
declare any pmwiki variables you want to reuse as global.

And to answer your question, variables are available after they are 
defined. Every time I need a variable, I pretty much echo it in a 
comment and see if it's defined; if it's not, I make it global. If it 
still doesn't show up, I try to figure out why, which is sometimes tough :)

Pm, a really good help for us helpers-coders would be a decent
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WikiCascades
that can be properly maintained only from the bird-eye's view you have :)
