Well, it's not that simple.
Or rather, that isn't the whole truth.

Yes, you are right, but this is also right :

Put all vars in the first half bank 0 and *any* of the other
banks (but only in *one* of the other banks). Then you setup
the bank bits to point to the other bank and you can always
access both that bank and the "access" bank (which isn't
a real bank, more like an alternative RAM "access path")
by setting the "a" bit correctly. And they are both just as
fast since there is no bank switching at all.

Now, I use ASM and know nothing about C on PICs, so... :-)
