I'm just a newbie user of org & babel, but as a workaround I'd split it into several blocks and use session based work. For instance I have the following in my dot emacs:
(setq org-babel-default-header-args:R '((:results . "output") (:session . "*R*"))) This way I can always see what is going on within ESS in *R* buffer and all variables are preserved.
