Can a global variable be a local variable as well?

I have a local variable called last_accessed and i use it in the global scope inside the EA. But now i want to use it as a global variable. Do i need to create another name for it or can i just access it with the same name e.g. GlobalVariableGet("last_accessed"). Also, how does the strategy tester deal with global variables? Does it set them as well and hence interfere with the live values? I hope my question was clear enough, if it is not, i'd be happy to elaborate.

thanks in advance

is a new variable/constant required once it is used for a separate comparison ?

For using Global Variables you don't must to definite it. Global variable ("MQL4: Global variables") and local variables are different even if have identical names.
