In this case the variable would exist as a global variable in a different stylesheet - ctrl->f for it in the stylesheet where it's used returns nothing, so then you have to check each stylesheet in the hierachy to find out exactly what the variable contains. It's a real mess. I would expect in your case you define the variable just above where it is used multiple times to save replicating code, which is what any normal person would do.
