Static variables within the scope of the file are the way to go. It isn't particularly frowned upon, but initialization can sometimes be tricky. As well, global variables are generally an impediment to subsequent refactoring; what if you want two distinct and isolated subsystems that would then need their own distinct versions of the globals, for example?
