as far as i can tell you get a reference to it even when passing it
into a function:
here is a really, really lame test script to see what happens:
<cffunction name="tester">
<cfargument name="mystruct" type="struct">
<cfset arguments.mystruct.user = "bill">
<cfdump var="#arguments.mystruct#">
</cffunction>
<cfset test = structNew()>
<cfset test.user="bob">
<cfset test.id="ted">
<cfset tester(test)>
<cfdump var="#test#">
you will see you get the same dump from each struct.
