Same here... I set all my request variables in one file then include it via Application.cfm. the request vars are available anywhere and everywhere throughout the entire application this way.
If you have these two files... <!--- Request.cfm---> <cfset request.testvar = "request variable"> <!--- index.cfm ---> <cfinclude template="request.cfm"> <cfoutput>#request.testvar#</cfoutput> Index.cfm should just display "request variable" This SHOULD definitely work. If it's not, then there is something wrong somewhere else. Were you getting test not defined in request scope errors? Or any kind of error for that matter... -----Original Message----- From: Ben Doom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 1:26 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How to use Request scope?! Except that I do exactly what you said didn't work all the time. I routinely create request or variable scoped vars in one include to be used in another. The includes are serial, not nested. So I don't know what your original problem was, but I'd be careful to check and make sure that the value being used in the second include is actually what's being set in the first, not in the index. --Ben Ian Sheridan wrote: > Well let me be a little bit more descriptive. > > I have an "index.cfm" page that includes two files.
