I have two functions used in hiring soldier procedure: one for finding an equipment set in a virtual storage, and one for "compiling" the soldier.
I've noticed that some of hired soldiers had no ammo, while I was sure the ammo is in storage.
After some test I firured it out: both funtions have the same variable name inside its scope, and these variables are not private.
But shouldn't different functions have different scopes?

Steps To Reproduce
fnc_getitems = {
_magstoremove = [123];
[_magstoremove]
};
fnc_check = {
_set = ["",0,[]];
_magstoremove = _set#2;
_magstoremove
};
call fnc_check;this one returns [] (empty array);
fnc_getitems = {
_magstoremove = [123];
[_magstoremove]
};
fnc_check = {
_set = ["",0,[]];
_magstoremove = _set#2;
call fnc_getitems;
_magstoremove
};
call fnc_check;In this case [123] returned.
I suppose it should not happens?

TL;DR, prefix your local variable initializations with private to prevent what you describe as "leak" (which is actually a feature in SQF)
fnc_getitems = {
private _magstoremove = [123];
[_magstoremove]
};
fnc_check = {
private _set = ["",0,[]];
private _magstoremove = _set#2;
call fnc_getitems;
_magstoremove
};
call fnc_check;
