When you set a variable within a recipe it's setting it just within the context of that recipe, so there's no way for it to affect other recipes. > I'm also guessing that touching PREMIRRORS and MIRRORS within recipes > is generally a bad practice.

I guess it's not unreasonable to want to avoid touching anything external when building something internal; but you're right as a general practice this is something we would not do in published recipes.
