You can do that, but it is not a good idea to do it.  In fact, this is bad 
advice.  There should be as few global variables as possible.

Whenever data needs to be available globally, *one* global variable which 
stores a reference to a native user-defined object should serve as the hub 
for storing data as values of the properties of that object.  The value of 
the variable or the values of the properties of the referred object, should 
be passed to and between functions.
