It is a non-issue. Rev does not require you to declare variables; they 
are created automatically just by using them. I have never seen that fail.

However, since you have turned on explicit variables, you do have to 
declare them -- but this relates more to how the the compiler works than 
how the engine works. I personally do not use explicit variables, I 
never declare them specifically, and I have never had any problem.

I should note that explicit variables is a hot topic, with proponents on 
both sides, and has been the subject of more than one thread here. ;)
