In short, no. In terms of design too, custom tags should be highly reusable which suggests being self contained which rules out having dependencies on variables being set elsewhere. Assuming these are your homemade custom tags, I would added the variables you need as attributes of the tag and pass them in in the calling page. As a side note, cfmodule works in the same way and for the same good reason (self containment and reusability).
