"Shared" is another computer science term that generally means "using the same memory" or more generally, address space. ;^) So, in our case (and trying to use correct terminology), we might call Server, Application, and Session "Shared" scopes as they share RAM space. Client variables and cookies can be considered "Persistent" scopes since they will survive a system recycle. But "Shared" (like, in my opinion, "persistent") really needs a qualifier. Server, Application and Session variables are sharing memory (you need to worry about RAM usage with them). Server is shared across all requests on a single CF instance. Application and Session are shared across all member application requests (but not other applications).
