Like if you look at your code, the initializing block i s always stand-alone. Is there a way to initialize a variable and the block attaches to the other blocks? Please help.

You can create variables dynamically. To do this, use the setter of the global variable, for which use the second variable instead of the name. By changing the value of the second variable, you can change the name of the global variable.
