The CFX API is rather limited as to what it can pass back and forth.
You can _set_ variables from within a CFX, but (with an exception for
custom tags(?) ... oh, that's getSetting. Never used it.) the only data
you can read is what you pass to it -- i.e., one (1) query and all the
attributes (ie, parameters).
Can you simply pass the session as:
<CFX_mytag SessionID="blah123456789">
and from the CFX
Request.SetVariable("SessionID","newblah123");
?
