If you have another variable with the same name as a CFC variable in the same scope, your CFC's variable values could 'bleed' into your other scope variable. If I understand it correctly, you only have to worry about it with variables in the 'variables' scope, or local variables in the CFC, not 'arguments' variables that are passed in to the CFC, or any other scope variable you might use (like application). I'm not exactly an expert, so someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
