    <title>Reference: Variable Locality (Distro, Machine, Recipe etc.)</title>

    <para>
        Whilst most variables can be used in almost any context (.conf, .bbclass, 
        .inc or .bb file), variables are often associated with a particular 
        locality/context. This section describes some common associations.
