I'm wondering why you want to inherit anything from a previous
environment.  Suppose you do so and different environments are in
different files and you change the order of \include{} or \input
calls.  The meaning of "previous" will change then too.

Isn't it better to define a global variable instead (before
\begin{document})?

If the optional argument supports key-value pairs as well, you can
support more than one global variable in the preamble and allow users
to overwrite the defaults in particular environments, regardless of the
order.
