Can you set the variables that need to be shared in a scope that can be shared? Like the server scope? The only other option would be to handle your sessions manually in my mind. Have a table where you generate unique session keys and assign those to the user via a cookie or url variable. Keep track of last accessed time and that sort of thing. Then you can save whatever variables you want into another table and reference by the session key and variable name. It's more DB intensive but it gives the flexibility you want as long as db datatypes can handle the data you're wanting to shared. You can also let CF manage your sessions, but store the vars you want to share in a table with the session key and variable name so you can query it out from any app.

John: Our applications have to have unique names so that we don't have application scoped vars over written (thinks like DSN, file paths etc are stored in the application scope). Any other ideas or thoughts?? I wish CF would just see this directory as a sub directory of each of my sites.....
