Yes. Every variable you want to reference is either global or local
to some buffer, for example. Just look at any Lisp application in
Emacs and try to analyze its dependence on the global state, and you
will immediately see the problem.

There are ways of communications (e.g., you can call any Emacs
function), but if more is needed, we can add that. Some design is
necessary, though, to identify what else is needed and why.
