Are you even allowed to name two variables the same thing if they're in different classes?

If so, if I create two variables by the same name, for an example.. let's call them both foo. One is in a class called Class1, the other is in a class called Class2.

In Class2, can I access Class1::foo, and vice versa? If so, how.

Related question. If I have Class2 as a subclass of Class1, if I access foo (they both have a foo) which do I get? I'd assume Class2's foo, but is that garunteed?

Do the same rules hold for trigger binding? Like, if I have two triggers with ID of 'foo', can I turn them off and on with #T+ and #T- independant of each other?

What you want can be done using the class character (defaults to /). The syntaxes for it are:
./setting refers to setting in None class.
../setting refers to setting in parent class, only really usable when a class is the default class through #CLASS or the 'Set as default' class option.
class/setting refers to a setting in class relative to current default.

These can be combined like ./class/setting or /class/class/../class/setting.

The character can be used both when creating and when accessing settings
#VAR ./class1/foo abc
#VAR foo def {_nodef} {class2}
#SHOW @class1/foo
#ECHO @class2/foo

The same would work with #T+ and #T-, and anyother command that references or create settings.
