Or just have getter/setter functions in the backscript and avoid global 
variables altogether:

# aMediaItemData is private to the backscript
local aMediaItemData

-- but you can still get to it
function MediaItemData pKey
	if pKey is empty then
		-- return the entire array
		return aMediaItemData
	else
		return aMediaItemData[pKey]
	end if
end MediaItemData

on SetMediaItemData pKey, pValue
	put pValue into aMediaItemData[pKey]
end SetMediaItemData

...then from your stack:

SetMediaItemData "KeyString", "ValueString"
put MediaItemData() into aBigArray
put MediaItemData(someKey) into aVariable
