Neither public nor private member variables are documented by default. However, if you use private member variables and write public accessor and mutator methods, those methods will be documented. If you want public member variables to show in your auto-generated documentation, you have to describe them using CFPROPERTY. If you create an instance of your CFC, and use CFDUMP, you will see public member variables and methods, but not private member variables. I recommend that you use the Variables scope for all member variables.
