I am not sure if the "public" VARIABLES scope exists in the OnRequestStart() event method. It might not exist until OnREquest(). If it does, you are probably gonna get all kinds of conflicting issues since VARIABLES is ALSO a scope within the Application.cfc component.
Try this... Don't scope the variable at all. Just set variable names. ColdFusion by default puts these into the VARIABLES scope of the page. However, since you are in a component, this might not work (they might go into THIS scope). Try the non-scoping method and see if that works. ......................

However, I was asking about the variables scope, not the request scope. If it can't be done, I'd rather know that.
