I don't know how to do this in C++, but I'm sure it'd be similar to what I'd do in C#.

Create a class with a name such as Globals, with static members for everything that you need to share.

public class Globals 
{
    public static int someNumber;
    public static bool someBoolean;
   // .. etc...
}

Then those could be accessed from anywhere, using Globals.someNumber, Globals.someBoolean, etc.
