Sarah,
maybe one thought to memorize really thoroughly for this topic:

If you \include another file LilyPond will simply insert the content of 
the included file at that place.
So if you have four variables in four files or one file doesn't make a 
difference. The only thing that matters is the order in which you 
include the files.
