Yes, there is. And it's well documented. See, for example, page 57 of the
"Palm OS Programmer's Companion" that comes with SDK 3.5 (I found this by
opening the document and search for "globals").
You can find the same text at:

Keith,
Thanks for the reply. I guess I'm accessing global variables at the wrong
time.
Is there a rule as to when and when not to access them?
Thanks,
Mike Lyle
