Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the multi-declaration var example and compare it with the separate declarations example. Trace static-eval's handling of var statements; the issue is done when multiple declarations no longer throw while the existing single-declaration case continues to work.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I can't bulkify code that looks like this because static-eval is throwing:

var bulk = require('bulk-require')
  , _ = require('lodash')
  , conditions = bulk(__dirname, ['/*.js'])

However, this works:

var bulk = require('bulk-require')
var _ = require('lodash')
var conditions = bulk(__dirname, ['/*.js'])
