Indeed, the usage of eval is not recommended due to many reasons. 
However, once you have a setting as you described above there is no
alternative. To avoid the setting you should not store  data in different
variables in the first place. Alternatives are for example (cell) arrays or
structs.

This is not Octave specific, you might want to have a look to classical
programming literature or e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eval
