In this case, the variable is a namespace containing the property of a
folder full of plist files. I access any dictionary item anywhere in
my webapp with a namespace like this:

Data.Plist.SectrumDB.Sectrum.Contents.Character.Type
> Unicode string

There are hundreds of these dictionary items in the namespace, and it
has been a powerful programming tool. I simply wonder if there is a
more elegant way of giving my entire application access to these
variables from the top. Apparently not, from what I gather.
