I don't see a difference in behavior from SD and SE, but since I'm just
looking at snippets of script I am probably not recreating the exact
scenario you're in.

Maybe you could provide a copy/paste-able example with the minimum needed to
replicate that requires no editing or guessing?

It sounds like it's a question of inheritance, and you're expecting a global
declared in a script object to be accessible directly in the parent script.
