Chris Down, Chris F.A. Johnson and Pierre Gaston, thank you all for quick replies!
I now see that this is a known behavior and is considered normal by developers. Although, I'd say that it feels unnatural. On 04/03/2013 11:26 AM, Pierre Gaston wrote:

Ah, I see. This is the consequence of caller's variables being seen in called functions. So, if a function in some module relies on a global read-only variable and I call it from a different function redefining it, the called function would see redefined variable instead. Thanks everyone! Sincerely, Nick
