  <p>I am routing <code>news/</code> to an action which then uses the <code>renderTemplate()</code> method to do just that...render the template.  The result is sent to the browser but it is accompanied by the following php error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Fatal error: Cannot declare class Craft\WassermanNewsVaraible, because the name 
  is already in use in /usr/share/nginx/craft/plugins/myPlugin/variables/MyPluginVariable.php on line 5

  <p>So that tells me that the class is obviously already declared somewhere.  If so how can I access it?  I am currently trying to access it as the documentation describes and is shown below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% for item in craft.myPlugin.myMethod() %}
    &lt;div&gt;

Title: Template Variable Already in Use?

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-12-20)
  
  I am brand new to craft and have loved it so far. Only area that I'm having a hard time understanding is why I cannot use my template variables in my templates.
  
  I am routing `news/` to an action which then uses the `renderTemplate()` method to do just that...render the template. The result is sent to the browser but it is accompanied by the following php error:
  
  ```
  Fatal error: Cannot declare class Craft\WassermanNewsVaraible, because the name 
  is already in use in /usr/share/nginx/craft/plugins/myPlugin/variables/MyPluginVariable.php on line 5
  
  ```
  
  So that tells me that the class is obviously already declared somewhere. If so how can I access it? I am currently trying to access it as the documentation describes and is shown below:
  
  ```
  {% for item in craft.myPlugin.myMethod() %}
    <div>
     Test
    </div>
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
  
  Here is my template variable class which is in myPlugin/variables/
  
  ```
  namespace Craft;
  
  class MyPluginVaraible
  {
      public function myMethod(){
          craft()->myPlugin->myMethod(); //which is in the service
      }
  }
  
  ```
  
  Is there a difference between how templates are rendered via controllers as opposed to the regular behavior? I saw that the method had a second parameter however I still could not insatiate my template variables to pass that way as it was still already declared somewhere.
  
  I've been banging away at this one for a while. Any help or insight would be much appreciated.
