Further to this, it appears that it happens with all get_*(); functions. 
I tried require('header.php'); and left get_sidebar(); there and the 
sidebar still had errors in it. So it appears that if I use get_*(); to 
include any part of the theme, even with a global $dgenxhome, those 
parts can't access the vars in dgenx.conf.php for some reason.

But the weird part is the functions still works :-|

So for now, I am sticking with require(); to put the various parts of 
the theme together.

Still, any ideas would really be appreciated.
