I have a simple question, You are using classes because you want to be OO
rather than procedural. Why, then, would you expect what you did to work.
Instead, OtherClass should have accessor and mutator methods. It would bebe
executed as $otherClassInstance.setOtherVar($myVar) where
$otherClassInstance is and instance of OtherClass.

So, in summary, if you are procedual then stay procedural and if you are OO
then stay OO.
