If you are making things this complicated, you will probably regret it
someday...
That said, I think if you just did:
foo('var');
and changed the 'a' in foo/bar to $a
then you would get what you want...
It won't be a reference nor a pointer, but just a global variable,
disguised by using $GLOBALS instead of:
global $var;
as you should do for clarity.
YMMV
