A routine can only be called from a subroutine if it is
contained within it.  :-)

But as Chris has pointed out - a LOCAL variable actually is
a global variable.  It is just that the value of the
variable is pushed onto a hidden stack before usage is
granted within the routine it is placed.  And as you have
pointed out, MY variables truly are local to only the
routine they are in. :-)
