vars.objects.fmfn

/*
 * =====================================================
 * vars.objects( objects )
 *
 * RETURNS:        (string) Return delimted list of valid variable declarations
 * DEPENDENCIES:   none 
 * NOTES:          To be used with var.eval. Designed to have a list
 *                 of object names passed so it can create a list of variables
 *                 using object for the key and the object's contents for value.
 *                 Should be used within context because of GetLayoutObjectAttribute()
 * =====================================================
 *
 * This is useful for an interface which uses global fields as keys
 * for relationships. You can call this function, pass in object names
 * for global fields and have a valid varible structure created for
 * you - ready to save.
