Indeed, handles and anonymous structures are the best solution for
this. If you must have a common block for global access then put
either a single anonymous structure or a handle ID into the common
block. Then you "change" your common block by changing the anonymous
structure or the values in the tree reference by the handle. A long
time ago I switched to using an anonymous structure in common blocks
to avoid the problem Runar describes.
