When slTest is a local variable, you should initialize it to Nil.

Just to be clear

Initialize it in code not in the declaration, since in the declaration afaik
that makes it a static variable instead of a truely local one, even when 
declared
with local scope.

You can only initialize a global variable. For "initialized local variables" you need to use writable "constants" ;)
