After recently trying to help an associate read some C++ code
he inherited, I know exactly what you mean. There were
instance variables that shadowed global variables, and
#define'd macros that hid the names of instance variables from
the user and so on. It was a royal mess.
C++ and Perl both require more self-discipline than is posessed
by 99% of the programming population (myself included).
