You can't. However, you could write a UDF to act as a wrapper. For
example, if you wanted to get foo from the application scope and wanted
a readOnly lock....
(fyi, I'm writing this code pretty quickly, so forgive any typos)
<cffunction name="applicationRead" returnType="any" output=false>
<cfargument name="variable" type="string" required=true>
<cflock scope="application" type="readOnly" timeout=3>
<cfreturn application[variable]>
</cflock>
</cffunction>
Of course, remember that for most cases, you won't need the locks in MX
anyway.
