I think this is really a scoping question. If you include a file called test.js and in that file you have this line:

var myVariable;

Then that variable is created with global scope and is accessible from anywhere in your page and also in any other JavaScript files that you include. If you declare a variable like that, outside of a function, it will be created with global scope.

One thought. If you're not able to access your variable in your main page then make sure that your script that declares it and assigns a value is included before the JavaScript on your page tries to use it. You could have an order of execution problem.
