what about:
request.x = CreateObject("component", "x");
request.x.caller = variables;

that might work, but looks a bit, er, like you shouldn't do it.

Subject: MX components accessing callerspace?
To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

MX components don't have access to the caller space so typically one
has to do something like:

x = CreateObject("component", "x");
x.caller = caller;

so that the component can set variables in the caller space like this:

this.caller["whatever"] = true;

This all works fine from a cutom tag, however

x = CreateObject("component", "x");
x.caller = variables;

placed in the main page causes a stack overflow in MX.  The reason is that
however, the problem with this approach is that /variables/ contains
/x/ so the assignment /x.caller = variables/ creates a circular
reference.

is there a better way to handle this?  I need to be able to modify
variables on the main page from a component.
