Manipulate does not locally scope all symbols in its first argument.
Only the control parameters are scoped locally. Manipulate tracks all
symbols by default. So, if you have two Manipulates on the screen at the
same time and they both contain the same global symbols, they will
trigger each other causing constant update checks.
You can use the option TrackedSymbols:>{list of control parameters}
to make Manipulate only track the control parameters and not the global
sysmbols in the Manipulate body.
Hope this helps.
