any use of pass by reference breaks any omitted variable?

[Bob Sneidar]

I went the other direction. 

on testReference
  put 8 into someVariable
  put 5 into someOtherVariable
  setVariable , someVariable -- second param omitted
  answer "someVariable was 8, and is is now:" && someVariable
end testReference

on setVariable incomingVar, @someOtherVariable 
  add 1 to incomingVar
end setVariable

Works fine. Seems logical that if passing by reference it would require a value for such variables, as it would otherwise result in referencing a variable that to the handler does not exist.
