Whenever I try and access a variable which is in a specific class, or reassign a new value to it, etc. zMUD always creates a new variable in the top level, and doesn't reference the variable that already exists. For example, I need to store a value to a global variable, and then access it on another character, but instead of storing the variable where I want it to, it justs creates a new one in the local settings file. So how exactly do I force the script to read the pre-existing variable, no matter what class the darn thing is in? I can do it with the #VAR command, but I can't always use that command.

Use the #CLASS command to change your current class.

That's also a bug in the older versions of zMUD. The newest beta versions will update an existing variable no matter what class it is in, and will only create a new variable (in the current class) if no other variable with that name can be found.
