You declare the variables where they are needed. You initialize them at the point where it
is appropriate. It's just programming.

For example, if you have a CList that is used by your dialog, you declare it in the
(typically protected) section of your dialog class, and you most often initialize it in
the OnInitDialog handler for that dialog. Unless there is a reason to initialize it later,
or earlier (e.g., it is public and is used to pass information IN to your dialog).

Otherwise, I agree with the answer below. You don't generate header files for your
MFC-based classes such as your dialog, that's why AppWizard and ClassWizard exist. To
declare classes of your own, put them in header files you create. It's just programming.
