While you may be using the correct method to access the vars, you have to ask yourself why. If you tie a helper to a specific set a of data it is not as reusuable. That said, I can see the scenario where you have a component that handles some nifty stuff and then passes it to the view. In this case, I have uses $this->params which is available in the helpers. In the beforeRender() helper method of 1.2 you can change use those params before the helper is used. We had talked for a while about a startup() method in the helper that could receive the viewVars, but at the end of the day, the situations when you should use something like this are on the edges at best.
I trust you will use this power wisely young padawan.
