Jira (PUP-5635) accessing facts via another scope

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on PUP-5635   Re: accessing facts via another scope the example is more complicated than what it needs to be - the problem is that an attempt to access something with a fully qualified name where the last part of the name does not reference an existing variable in that namespace the result is that it will lookup a global (top scope) variable with the same name. The inheritance in the example just makes the problem even more convoluted. This illustrates the fundamental problem: $foo = 100 class test { $testvar = 10 $fooo = 10 # i.e. not foo } include test notice $test::foo There is no $test::foo (does not help to use $::test::foo) but you still get the value 100 from the top scope variable.
