Global a%=1

Type test
	Global b%=a+10
EndType

Using Superstrict it gives an Unknown identifier a, whereas it is no problem to use a in methods oder functions, so I would say it is a problem with the assignment of the value to the global type variable (field works, too).

Try this code you'll see that the Code inside Type/EndType gets executed before Main block's execution.

superstrict
framework brl.standardio

global a% = sayHello("Main")

Type test
  global b% = sayHello("Test")
EndType


function sayHello(name$)
  print("Hello:	" + name)
End Function

That's why a% is not visibile in Type/EndType.

Yeah I can see why it happens, Just wondered if it could be worked around in the compiler, or if it was even intentional in the first place.

No idea about the compiler side, should ask Marks.
This code is working, but it's not that clean... :)

framework brl.blitz
strict
 Global a% = 1

private
	function getA%()
		return a
	End Function
public

Type test
	Global b% = 10 + getA()
EndType

debuglog test.b
