Shared Object - error #1151

Have mulitple scenes in one Flash File (CS3).
Don't want animation at beginning on each to play once viewed.

Here's the code:
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("curator");
if (so.data.alreadyVisited == true) {
gotoAndStop(229);
}


Curator is the name of the scene - and I have changed each to match the scene. (there isn't more than one named curator)

Here's the error I'm getting:
1151: A conflict exists with definition so in namespace internal.

Can't I have more than one shared object per movie?????
HELP!!!

You are redeclaring an existing variable, which you have already declared at other points.
