False positive “undefined variable” error when compiling SCSS

Question

Getting an error message when compiling my SCSS using the ruby compass gem.

run: /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/compass-0.12.2/bin/compass compile

Answer 1

I'd recommend looking into common Sass directory organizational structures. My personal favorite is The 7-1 Pattern.

The nature of it splits commonly used elements into other files, which are all imported by a main.scss to kill redundancies.

But also, firstly pay attention to @cimmanon's answer, as he more directly addresses your question.
