It's actually fairly simple.  On each channel, there is a space accessible for
other channels to write:

Set(SHARED(foo,SIP/123)=456)

or retrieve:

${SHARED(foo,SIP/123)}

The primary reason for having this space is writing out to another channel,
since you can already import variables (and functions) from another channel,
with the IMPORT function:

${IMPORT(SIP/123,CALLERID(name))}

Just remember that this is a _special_ variable space and not the main
variable space, so that other channels cannot mess with your execution
except when you explicitly want them to be able to do so.
