Within an ObjectScript structure, direct access via globals - although no longer very common - is very fast, and especially useful when you have a very large number of subscripts for the same node, and you only want to know the value of the last subscript, in which case you can simply read using the reverse $Order (equivalent to ORDER BY ... DESC or MAX(), however, without needing to construct an SQL read method), especially if you have a mapped class.
