That's the main reason I preface all variables with a letter, usually 
"t" for handler-local variables, "g" for globals, "s" for script-locals, 
and "k" for constants. You don't have to use the same letters but those 
have pretty much become the standards (some people prefer "c" for 
constants, but I use that for custom properties.)

If you adopt a system like this, you'll never have a naming conflict.
