No, this here is why you want classes. On a large project you are going to have multiple people touching contiguous code. This block is going to have several pages of code between it and half of the declarations and that kind of ping pong is no big deal for a limited percentage of the Dev population but is NOT trivial for everyone else.

There’s a difference between having a problem and admitting you have a problem and lots of devs trip up on code constructs like this on a regular basis. It’s double data entry and that is bad. It also hamstrings editors, adding friction to discoverability. All things I shouldn’t have to explain to a framework writer but constantly find myself having to soapbox.
