Using function config() fails to define PHP variables

I need the same variables in every view (with a form) and tried using
the config() function to read the file from the Config folder. It is
read in just fine, and I can generate output from the config file
(e.g. debug($variable)). However, after the loading of the file, none
of the variables are defined within the view. In other words, the
$variable is not defined outside of the included file itself.

If I change the use of config() to be an include_once(APP. 'Config' .
DS . 'form_input_params.php') everything works just fine.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance for any ideas,
