I think that when clusters are rewritten, you will be able to set global 'constants' by making a cluster out of a number component and instancing it around the definition (you change one cluster and all will change accordingly). But I don't think this will work with variables. I have also missed from time to time some sort of "wireless" transfer of information between components when working on a large definition.
