You're trying to outsmart the compiler in order to save space? Any  
compiler from the last decade will take notice of the scope in which  
variables are used and will reuse stack (or register) space if the  
value they hold is no longer needed/used. I'm with John here, clarity  
in the naming of variables is much more important.
