what do you mean by "the next algoritm"? the next version?? a different
algorithm that should run concurrently?? your questions need to be more
specific if you want a specific solution. but in general, if you want 2
algorithms to use the same variables then use let:

(let ((maximum 74)
      (offset 40))
  (algorithm one ... )
  (algorithm two ... ))

this way either or both algos can refer to and set the same maximum and offset.
