'for' looping problem

Why, oh why do I get this error even if incomingPin is declared before void setup????: serial_tester_thingy_2:17: error: 'incomingPin' was not declared in this scope

(moderator - need to use the # sign above - results in [ code ] paste_your_code [ / code ] (without the spaces) )

int pinCount = 12;
int digiPins[] = {
  2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13};
int thisPin;
//int  incomimgPin;  << oops - incoming mis-spelled

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); 

  for (int thisPin = 0; thisPin < pinCount; thisPin++){
    pinMode(digiPins[thisPin], OUTPUT);      
  }
}
void loop() {
  if (Serial.available() > 0){
    // read the byte, convert from ASCII character '5' for example to 0x05, check ASCIItable.com for the characters
    int incomimgPin = Serial.read();   << mis-spelled incoming here too 
    Serial.println(incomingPin);

// test for range 2-9
    thisPin = incomingPin - 48; 
    Serial.println(thisPin);

    if (thisPin >= 0 && thisPin <= 9)
    {
      digitalWrite (digiPins[thisPin], HIGH); // set the pin  high
      delay (1000); // hold it high for one second
      digitalWrite (digiPins[thisPin], LOW);  // and back low.
    }
// test for range A-F
thisPin = incomingPin - 65 + 10;  
    Serial.println(thisPin);
    if (thisPin >= 10 && thisPin <= 15)
    {
      digitalWrite (digiPins[thisPin], HIGH); // set the pin  high
      delay (1000); // hold it high for one second
      digitalWrite (digiPins[thisPin], LOW);  // and back low.
    }
  
  delay(1);
