If I declare a user type as global.
When I declare a variable of that user defined type, is that variable
automatically global or do I have to also declare that variable as
global ?

A type is just an implicitly called function whose value is only provided to
the error handler. If it is made global, it can be accessed anyplace in the
code after the point of it's declaration. That should not force variables
using it to be global.

To clarify, your user-defined type is global so you can declare other
variables of that type in other modules of your code.This doesn't affect the
scope of your newly declared variable though.
(ie. A variable declared globally as user-type will be available throughout
your all of your code, otherwise it is local to the file it resides in.)
CLEAR?
