I always include a section in my design document that details the variables, their type and function.
Keep your naming convention consistent. Make the names easy to understand so someone else has an idea of what is going on.
Use names that make since to an outsider. Don't use variable numbers that reference scene numbers. Scene are numbered in the order of creation. Adding new scenes in revision will mess up the naming convention and it's hard to fix later on. Learned that the hard way.

Thanks, Thaddeus. I have not been giving unique names to variables, although I have been doing that with triggers. I have bad habits w/r/to design and development. I start off with a design document, but when I get an idea about something and want to try it out in SL, I start working it out there and abandon the design doc. It hasn't caused any problems yet, but I should update the design doc after experimenting in SL.
All good advice. Thanks.
