Variables in cfengine 3

Here is an important distinction. All variables are defined in bundles, because a variable assignment is a promise for a container to hold a value. There are no variable declarations in bodies, so the following email => "mark@cfengine.com"; is not a variable declaration, but represents the setting of a static attribute email to a value. If you want to think of this as a reserved variable that is okay, but you cannot use the value of this in an expression.
