Are variations considered phases? for example, if a solution of a two-mover goes like this - 1.A! b/c 2.X/Y#, is it true that the variations 1...b 2.X# and 1...c 2.Y# are two phases?

No. Each phase might contain a number of variations, but the variations themselves do not constitute distinct phases. I'll add a note saying as much to the article. --Camembert 14:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
