I meant sequential invocation the local variables are gone when you exit 
a session (a nice feature that we also rely on in Selectrum):

```elisp
(defvar saved-command nil)

(defun save-command ()
  (message "Before: %s" saved-command)
  (setq-local saved-command real-this-command)
  (message "After: %s" saved-command))

(defun example-command ()
  (interactive)
  (read-string "Example1 : ")
  (read-string "Example2 : "))
```

Calling example-command above gives :

    Before: nil
    After: example-command

    Before: nil
    After: exit-minibuffer
