This is explained in man mimedefang-filter section "MAINTAINING STATE".

Variables are never "instantiated", but any value you assign in 
filter_begin() is accessable through filter() til filter_end().

The man page also explains that step 4 (filter_begine, filter, filter_end) 
is _one_ step, no other message interferes.
