That's a discussion I had several weeks ago on IRC, but I can't remember with whom. IIRC, it basically makes a difference wheter the module is autoloaded or imported. My tests so far have shown that "module-scope" variables, i.e. e.g. such ones defined at the beginning of init.pp, get included if you import the module, but not if some class in the module is autoloaded. I think we had concluded that it would be nice to have "module-scope" variables in autoloaded classes and definitions, but had not followed the thought or the tests any further. I hope this answers some of your questions, and we can find a solution that suits everyone.
