Ok, here you go. A state monad on top of IO, storing just your variable. Its
even 'initialised' to undefined at the start :)

    import Control.Monad.State

    main = execStateT (do f1; f2; put 10) undefined
        
    f1 = do 
        let v = 0
        put v
        liftIO $ print v

    f2 = do
        v <- get
        let v' = v + 4
        put v'
        liftIO $ print v'

Running:
    $ runhaskell A.hs
    0
    4
    10

Of course, there are many other ways to do this, too.
