And  where could I look to see this cascading goodness... I'm using
something similar in a modified thumbnail module I'm working on... I
would like to compare implementation...

function _thumbnail_get_var($var, $node) {
  global $thumb_defs;
  $node = (array) $node;
  if (isset($node['thumb_'.$var])) {
    $value = $node['thumb_'.$var];
  }
  else {
    $value =  variable_get('thumb_' .  $node['type'] . '_' . $var ,
variable_get('thumb_' . $var, $thumb_defs[$var]));
  }
  return $value;
}

is what I was playing with for this particular use case.
