Are you using fusebox?
If you are you could use the fuseaction to determine if it increments or
vise verca,
e.g.
D:\dir1 [0] fuseaction=thisFuse&counter=#attributes.counter#
D:\dir2 [0] fuseaction=thisOtherFuse&counter=#attributes.counter#
then in your app globals
<CFPARAM NAME="attributes.counter" DEFAULT="0">
<cfwith expression="#attributes.fuseaction#">
<cfcase value="thisFuse"><CFSET
attributes.counter=attributes.counter-1><cfcase>
<cfcase value="thisOtherFuse"><CFSET
attributes.counter=attributes.counter+1><cfcase>
</cfswitch>
if your not using fusebox,
in your application.cfm
<CFPARAM NAME="counter" DEFAULT="0">
<CFIF GetBaseTemplatePath() CONTAINS("dir1")>
<CFSET counter=counter-1>
<CFELSEIF GetBaseTemplatePath() CONTAINS("dir2")>
<CFSET counter=counter+1>
</CFIF>
and then in you links you'll always have to pass via hidden form field,
cookie, or url
<a href="index.cfm?counter=#counter#>link</a>
I think this is along the right path,

Subject: Re: Incrementing a variable
I'm trying to set a variable based on were I am in my directory structure.
At initial loading of my index.cfm I would set a variable to "0"
WHen I click on a link and "drill-down" into the directory I want that
variable incremented. At the same time if I go backup up in the directorure
structure I want the variable
decremented.
Example:
D:\dir1 [0]
D:\dir2 [0]
Click on D:\dir1
D:\
D:\dir1\test1 [1]
D:\dir1\test2 [1]
Click on D:\dir1\test
D:\
D:\dir1 [1]
D:\dir1\test1 [2]
