Yes, you are right thanks for an idea, but they used fully qualified name for when they change the value of that variable.

    ...sorry I don't understand. Is it that the variable has been exported, but when its being changed, its addressed using its fully qualified name?

      Yes, it has been exported.

        I can't come up with any reason to access a variable in those two different ways unless doing something shady. Is it a publicly available module that you can link to here?
