Variables set with dtml-let are only available in the enclosing namespace,
whereas ones set with REQUEST.set are available in the whole namespace of
an individual request. Probably your problem was related to this.

No. The above code won't create any such problems. 

One more suggestion. The object DateTime includes many useful functions
descriped in the source. For example:
<dtml-if "_['z_t']==_.string.split(_.str(_.DateTime(logged_on)))[0]">

could be written like:
<dtml-if "_.DateTime(logged_on).isCurrentDay()">
