Are variables set in include global in scope? If yes, any way to create a local variable?

Are variables set in Jekyll {% include %} files global in scope? That is, do they leak into the page that included then and subsequent includes?

For example, I have an include file with the following contents:

{% assign ai__attributes = "" %}

{% if include.width %}
{% capture ai__attributes %}{{ ai__attributes }}width="{{include.width}}" {% endcapture %}
{% endif %}

{% if ai__attributes != "" %}
{% capture ai__ial %}{:{{ai__attributes}}}{% endcapture %}
{% endif %}

![{{include.alt | default image }}]({{assetpath}}/{{include.path}}){{ai__ial}}

This sets teh ai__ial variable if include.width has been set. If I call this once with width set, and then again with it inset, will the ai__ial from the first call leak into the second? Is there any way to avoid this, e.g., by scoping the variable?

No way to set a local variable, but you can reset ai__ial in your include.

{% assign ai__attributes = "" %}
{% assign ai__ial = "" %}
...
