It is true. If in parent.cfc, outside the methods or in a method but not var scoped or attribute scoped, if you do x=1, then child.cfc can access it as well. Does it make sense to use that feature? My gut instincts say no - even if I could access parent.cfc's private variables, I wouldn't count on it.
