That's my personal take on it. Please keep in mind, that I, like you, am only a member of the community, and not a OMI-employee.

Why would you want to do this?
If you use the fully qualified variable throughout your programs, you possibly have less work typing the names, but you definitely have a higher grade of readability in your code.
As far as I understand the concept of CP, I would strongly discourage assigning imported variable A to local variable B, in order to save typing time only. And if there is a very good reason beyond mere saving typing time, this reason would also suggest that you export the additional variable.
Besides that, I do not think that the case you make above is really a case at all. IN your above example, the table apparently is:
<SubsytemModule>.rt.base
So your database pointer, if you exported one, would be:
<SubsytemModule>.db
and if you wanted to assign it to local variable db (for whatever reason), you would have to type
db:= <SubsytemModule>.db;
instead of
db:=<SubsytemModule>.rt.base;
So, we are talking about an additional of 4 characters that you call "also a bit redundant"? I don't think that this is an issue.
