I think I just found my answer...from this page:

[Released] Button Controller 3.0

Button Controller 3.0 Following on the heels of Rule 3.0 is Button Controller 3.0. For some time Button Controller has been a code offshoot of Rule. So with the new UI features and Actions capabilities of Rule 3.0, Button Controller now follows suit with a completely new UI. This release will mark the end of development of Button Controller 1.6. Existing Button Controller instances of earlier releases will still function as before; new instances will be Button Controller 3.0. The main page …

The two main differences between Button Controller 3.0 actions and Rule 3.0 actions are,

(1) Button Controller does not have conditional actions, and
(2) It does not support Global Variables.

So no Global Variable in Button Controller app. Got it.
