I would think debugging a chain of code is more of a nightmare than debugging a $_SESSION variable. Also, HTTP is a stateless protocol no matter what you do. If you want to pass data around, the only ways to do it are $_SESSIONS and cookies with $_SESSIONS being preferable as they stay on the server.
