Hmm... I'd phrase that differently:
J's blocks are a strict (or maybe 'flat') abstraction that do not
inherit from other blocks.
Local names (as opposed to locale names) are specific to the block
they were created in,
That said, the underlying concept is, I think, the same.
Thanks,

There are several ways to accomplish what I think you're asking for:
Algebraic simplification:
g=:3 :0
-y
)
Pass the intermediate result as a parameter:
g=:3 :0
b=. 2*y
f=. 4 :'y-x'
b f y
)
Or
g=:3 :0
b=. 2*y
f=. b 1 :'y-m'
f y
)
Serialize the desired value and incorporate it i
J has no concept of block scope. locales provide namespaces, so public
assignments are not truly global but only visible within the locale; but
for something small like what you are talking about you just can't do it.

Dear list,
although I seem to be able to define a function within another function,
it seems that the inner function does not see private variables from the
outer one. What is then the correct way to write something like
g =: 3 : 0
b =. 2*y
f =. 3 : 'y-b'
f y
)
g 2
and get -2 as a result?
