Not really. It is best to set variables in config.php or other local
customisation files directly, like $Skin = 'pmwiki';
Only in cookbook recipes or skins it is recommended to set some
variables with SDV or SDVA (for arrays), so they can be overridden
with a setting in config.php, before the recipe is included.

SDV stands for Set Default Value, and it sets the variables value, if
it has not been set already beforehand.


Best,
