So you can't be sure about the sequence unless you specify files on
commandline, but anyway i think ist a bad idea to share global vars between
files, why not use small include-file per directory where you are setting that
var (or something which helps you to decide whether you use the var or not)?

On the other hand you should be able to do something like 

ttree [OPTS] `find /src -type | sort`

unless there are too many files in the tree...
