I do the reverse: I store camera, lights, and common variables in a 
central location, also using #ifndef statements wherever possible. Then, 
in the scene I want to render, I include this file. I can always 
override the default variable states by declaring them before I do the 
inclusion.

See the "Game Sprites" item in the Object Collection for an example.
