Why not include the scope with your variables? I would also recommend using
the isDefined function instead of ParameterExists. So it would look like
this:
<CFSET Session.MyVar=1>
<CFIF isDefined("Session.MyVar")>True<cfelse>False</cfif>
The problem may just be that CF doesn't check the Session scope when you use
just a variable name, it checks the local, url, form, etc. scopes but I'm
not sure if it looks up the session scope for MyVar unless you explicitly
state it as session.MyVar. It's worth a try.
