Thanks Richard. Yes, the naming convention idea is what I've done and
moved on. Namespaces would be great at some point but not holding my
breath for that.
Naming conventions surfaces about once every 11 months.

I've renamed the global in the utility stack to something that's hopefully
obscure enough that it won''t clash with other stacks' globals.
I'm a big fan of Getting-It-Done-And-Moving-On solutions, and that works.
It would be nice if we could declare namespaces, and perhaps in the future
we will, but for now adopting habits with naming things can pay off nicely
with the setup we currently have.
I've become fond of using some identifying prefix for globals in addition
to the "g", so I know where they're defined and used.
For example, I'm currently updating a library for server data store
management called libDChunk (the storage scheme is called "Document
Chunkadelic" - long story), so the globals it uses are prefixed with "gdc",
e.g., "gdcUserInfoA".
Now that I think of it, it may be worth mentioning that trailing capital
"A" - I got that idea from Sarah Reichelt, who uses it to distinguish
arrays.
If you're really into this sort of curmudgeonly obsessive naming stuff,
this article is full of it:
