I just want to echo, that I believe var'ing a struct at the top and then adding all variables to that struct is a good idea. It's what I do, though usually I do: var my = StructNew();... This is particularly handy when in CFCs when you even have to var your query names. Using this method all I have to do is proceed anything which is usually var'd with ".my" (or ".local"... whatever) and Shazam! it's var'd.
