>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.

Use With:

With[{args={x1,x2,x3,x4,x5}}, DynamicModule[args, body]]
