$this->load->vars()

I think a class variable is a bad idea because then it's a part of the super object. Because you don't know how all the classes are named that can be added to the super object it's possible you get same name errors.

A way to get the stored vars is to extend the loader class with following method:

Code:

function var($key)
{
   return (isset($this->_ci_cached_vars[$key])) ?  $this->_ci_cached_vars[$key] : NULL ;
}

The usage is

Code:

$this->load->var('some_var');
