Re: Can I use a variable to repeat a get -filemask destination path

You can set an environment variable in the parent batch file: 
set DESTINATION=\\192.168.1.10\fixeddestination\

and use it in WinSCP script like: 
get fileA*.txt>today %DESTINATION%

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting#variables
(Note that in your script the empty -filemask is redundant)
Another option is:
Upload to multiple servers / Parametrized script
Or you can just change the remote working directory: 
cd \\192.168.1.10\fixeddestination\
get fileA*.txt>today
get fileB*.txt>today
get fileC*.txt>today

Or specify the multiple sources in one command: 
get fileA*.txt>today fileB*.txt>today fileC*.txt>today \\192.168.1.10\fixeddestination\

Or even simplify the mask using set pattern to: 
get file[ABC]*.txt>today \\192.168.1.10\fixeddestination\

Can I use a variable to repeat a get -filemask destination path

I have 
get -filemask fileA*.txt>today \\192.168.1.10\fixeddestination\
get -filemask fileB*.txt>today \\192.168.1.10\fixeddestination\
get -filemask fileC*.txt>today \\192.168.1.10\fixeddestination\

Does a way exist to declare the path \\192.168.1.10\fixeddestination\ just once as in:- 
var destination = \\192.168.1.10\fixeddestination\

enabling me to write 
get -filemask fileA*.txt>today destination\
