Rez uses a different "syntax" for shell variables.  Try something like:

#include $$Shell("MyShellVariable");

By the way, in your for-loop above, I don't think you want the line
"set x external" -- that will overwrite the value of x with the string
"external".  Rather, you should say "export x" (and you only need to
do it once, before the for-loop).
