<?php function mymodule_preprocess_page (& $variables ) { $_GLOBALS [ 'p_links' ] = $variables [ 'primary_links' ]; // primary_links definitely exists -- checked out with 'echo' } function somefunc (...) { ... drupal_eval ( file_get_...

I'm glad that it works for you, but it still looks as if you're trying to re-create the theme system. The "Drupal way" to do things like this is to implement hook_theme: see http://drupal.org/node/165706 and http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_theme/6 (check out the comments as well).
When you use the Drupal theme system as intended, the following will happen:
