I don't see any reason not to.
But you should allways try and make your varible names meaningful...
In some cases I do end up having the same, for example if I'm passing X,Y
coords around. But in othercases they have totally different names.
Also out of interest, activator=formal parameter, the other one is Actual
parameter (/me prays I got that the right way around :))
