It's not a good idea to use global variables but if you do, this technique is probably the safest.

// Global Object #1. Type: Object. 
function setData( d ) { 
	var data = d; 
	getData = function() { 
		return data; 
	} 
} 		

// Global Object #2. Type: String.  
function setSection( d ){
	var data = d;
	getSection = function(){
		return data;
	}
}

Now all you need to do is access it.

// Set your data
setData(YOUR_DATA)

// Get your data
getData()['key']
