This looks correct to me. `$ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar` is empty in global scope. I think your confusion comes from the fact that you have another variable with the same name in a local scope within the constructor. Local scope and global scope are not the same.

Thanks master @dharman

when we declare 

$ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar = 777;

this is GLOBAL.

When we declare

	function __construct(){ // --> this is GLOBAL ?
		$GLOBALS['a'] = 888; // --> this is GLOBAL ?
		$ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar = 777; // --> this is GLOBAL ?
		OtherFunction();
		}

why should $ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar in __constrcut(9 be global without "global $ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar" ir $GLOBALS['ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar'];

this are two different vars in different scopes and you really should learn basics:
