This is not a Windows question. It is a language question.
C
C is weird. Some identifiers can be declared multiply
as forward. You can have the same name sometimes for
things that are of different type. Not to speak of macro's

Pascal
If you declare multiple identifiers in the same namespace
you are hit on the head. You can have nested namespaces
and there is no conflict, the inner namespace counts.

Forth
You can use the same name for multiple objects.
The name last defined counts. You get at most a warning.
