[FX.php List] Reuse Variables on the same page?

[Bob Patin]

Jonathan,

I reuse variables all the time; for example, if I have multiple FX  
queries, I use $find for all of them, since the variable is  
reinitialized at the beginning of each query. Someone correct me if  
I'm wrong here...

I also reuse counter variables (my normal variable name for a counter  
is always "$counter") all the time, and it never causes me any grief.
