Well, I found out an interesting thing while utilising this new feature in my latest addon.

Eg.

local MultipleAnchors = Variables["ScrollFrame"].MultipleAnchors;
print("Current Multiple Anchors in Use ? : ", MultipleAnchors);
Variables["ScrollFrame"].MultipleAnchors = true;
print("Old Multiple Anchors in Use ? : ", MultipleAnchors);
print("New Multiple Anchors in Use ? : ", Variables["ScrollFrame"].MultipleAnchors);

Initially it is defaulted to false and then set to true. I initially expected it to override the value in the stored table being that variables are pointers to another. Erm, I guess not in this instance. The first print shows false, the second shows false and the last print shows true. So to override a value in the table for use by other files, specify the table completely. To simply use a value locally without affecting the table you can use a local. Which I believe you all inferred but I didn't realise you meant it would work that way rofl.

Whats good about this is that I can now keep a set of default variables without fear of overwriting them if I then set them to a new variable table so in theory ( and I will be testing this shortly ) you could do this.

DefaultVars.lua

addonTable.Variables = {};
addonTable.Variables["Defaults"] = {};
addonTable.Variables["Defaults"].defaultVar1 = "blah"
addonTable.Variables["Defaults"].defaultTab1 = { item1 = "blah2", item2 = "blah3" }
etc

SpecialVars.lua

local DefaultVars = addonTable.Variables["Default"];
addonTable.Variables["Special"] = DefaultVars;

SavedVars.lua

local DefaultVars = addonTable.Variables["Default"];
SavedVars = DefaultVars;

function addonTable.Functions["SavedVars"].ResetDefaults()
  local DefaultVars = addonTable.Variables["Default"];
  SavedVars = DefaultVars;
end

etc

Main.lua

local DefaultVars = addonTable.Variables["Default"];
local SpecialVars = addonTable.Variables["Special"];

if slashCmdParam1 = "reset" then
  addonTable.Functions["SavedVars"].ResetDefaults()
  --UpdateAddonWithNewValues
end

Handy thing to know if you have a file holding generic data you always use such as background values, generic functions etc. Put them all in a file and use it in all your addons.

Edt: And this is probably what was breaking some parts of my addon as I was testing against values that had been overriden via a localised version of the variable expecting it to override the addonTable one.
