Not if you either set the variables at top scope or always use fully
qualified variables in a class that includes all your other classes.

Another method to avoid scoping is to set these as node parameters in your
node classifier.

For your use case, you should take a hard look at Custom Facts.


This will avoid any potential scoping issues but does add the overhead of
writing the facts.
