Aw, you're just showing off. ;-) 

This is never an issue for me. For any given book, all variables have the same 
definition. I modify variable definitions only in the title page file, from 
which I import them to all the other files in the book. 

Except on the rare occasions that I'm doing major template updates, the first 
thing I do in the Import Formats dialog box is click Deselect All. So long as I 
don't go berserk and abandon that long-standing process, mucking up anything 
else just isn't an issue for me.
