Related to this:

When looking at the {debug} console, the $smarty variable has a value of null.

This is the instantiation:
$GLOBALS['smarty'] = new Smarty();

I am trying to set a key/value in the superglobal $_SESSION array in one template:
{$smarty.session.order_has_digital=false}
and read it back in a different template (same PHP session).

Is $smarty read-only?

I hope you're not working for a company.
Because if you were working for me, you'd had some bones broken for that code already.
One for using $GLOBALS at all, one for creating new variables directly in it, and one for braindead template design.
You MUST NOT try to SET any values in the application FROM THE TEMPLATE.
Fix your code, and your "problem" will go away.

You can't assign values to the $smarty special variables.
