My general rule of thumb is to scope all variables except local variables.
It makes a big difference in how readable the code is (especially if it
isn't your code, or you haven't dealt with it in awhile.) It's also
quicker for CF to know what scope to use instead of looping through the
possible list of scopes to find the right one.
