You can make system variables in your startup.pro file
For instance, in mine I have the following:

DEFSYSV, '!imag', complex(0,1)
DEFSYSV, '!twopi', 2*!dpi

(this also avoids the problem of having common blocks,
where you may inadvertently confuse local and global variables
(artificially I guess, but the " ! " at the front of the name is
a good way to identify global variables))

Cheers,
