I'm wondering if anyone can see a shorter way of  localising a large number of variables within a DynamicModule? For example,  instead of 
DynamicModule[{x1,x2,x3,x4,x5},
oo[x1,x2,x3,x4,x5];
oo[x1,x2,x3,x4,x5]
;
something with an idiom along the lines of 
args={x1,x2,x3,x4,x5};
DynamicModule[args,
oo[args];
oo[args]

The motivation for this is that in constructing a complex  interface the number of varfiables and functions may get quite large and further,  these variables may also need to be accessed in another function that is nested  more deeply . For example, function foo may call other functions which in  turn call other functions ... until finally the bottom function may need to  access say the variable - x1. Having to  repeatedly pass the entire or selected parts of  the variable space can get unwieldy and impact on the final code's  readability. Thanks.
