Don't use a global, instead create a new fact type "Global" having a single field globalVariable (type object will probably do), then you can pretty much write what you have below (once you add the missing bracket).
Alternatively you may be able to do something like eval(Arrays.asList("X", "Y").contains(globalVariable))
