the variable must exist or you cannot evaluate it.
In my example I specified saving the content to a file and cfincluding it,
which is not what you have done below.
This works fine for what you want below.
<cfset content = "this is some dynamic content">
<cfset foo = "This is static content. #content#">
<cfoutput>
#foo#
</cfoutput>
Here is an example of evaluating an external file.
<cfset content = "this is some dynamic content">
<cfsavecontent variable="contentfile">
<cfinclude template="content.cfm">
</cfsavecontent>
content from file:<br>
<br>
<cfoutput>
#evaluate(de(contentfile))#
</cfoutput>
