if you have 'all variable are typed' compilation may throw LOTS of errors, but if you look at them they are (often) mostly just variable which have never been given compiler directives, and at least in my case, most often are locals.
fixing these types of compiler errors are simple, somewhat time consuming, but simple. once you get the typing under control, then you can see what "real" errors you have to deal with. I would suggest resolving ALL of the typing issues, then take a fresh look at the situation. as to your original question/issue -- is it possible that the variable is declare 2x as different types?
