Hi I have a file with variables that I use throughout the system, as I can include it for use in all controllers

You need to extend CI_Controller class. Best approach is to make MY_Controller file located in application/core folder that will extends CI_Controller.
After that you only need to extend your controllers with MY_Controller NOT WITH CI_Controller.
In that file you can store values for approaching later from any file that uses MY_Controller;
application/core/MY_Controller.php
Code:
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
public $number = 5;
public $string = 'String!';
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function index()
{
}
}application/controllers/blog.php
Code:
class Blog extends MY_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$string = $this->string;
$number = $this->number;
}
}But also read this page.

There is a config system that you can use for this. http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/config.html
Also, if your file is just a bunch of define() statements or something, you can always just include() it in index.php.
