Well let me be a little bit more descriptive. I have an "index.cfm" page that includes two files. I was then setting the REQUEST variable *in* the first include. In the second include I would then look for it. This did not work.
I now set the REQUEST variable in the "index.cfm" file first. Then set it in the first include and read it in the second include. This works. So I gather from this experience that request is *inherited* from the parent document. Application.cfm ----- index.cfm ---------- include.cfm It only gets inherited. there is no creating it in a child include/file.
