I've been using that exact makeup in my CFC's for a while and have had no problem. Well only one, making sure that each and every variable declared is part of the local struct.
Still its a lot easier to declare everything like that then var"ing" every variable.

I'm ending up with a whole series of <cfset var myVariable = ""> at the beginning of the function which is messy and to me is asking for trouble, especially if myVariable is not a string. It's also very easy to miss one. So I've had an idea. At the beginning of each function, I'm going to add: <cfset var local = StructNew()> Which effectively creates me my own local variable scope. I can then create variables like local.myVariable, safe in the knowledge that they are local and thread safe. Good idea? Bad idea?
