Thanks - please let me know as soon as you tested it.

Agreed here. .org would be a tricky solution, because it is hidden -
advantage or disadvantage? Probably a disadvantage. I will rename it to 
"_org_variables_" which is likely to be unique.

Do you think it would be worth to have a check along the lines of 

if(class(_org_variables_)!="environment") {
  stop("_org_variables_ is already defined ")
} else {
  ...
}

or to make the name user definable?

A different thing which I am using at the moment is to save the
environment so that it can be easily distributed along the tangled code
*if all variables are defined at the beginning and not per code block*.

Another option I am thinking about is to provide the possibility to
store not only variables, but also R function - useful? Effectively a
kind of "R package light for org-mode"?

Pleasure - Thanks that they are useful.
