Actually... Now that I think of it, since the OnRequest() method
includes the content template... The entire page request should use the
"VARIABLES" scope that is private to the Application.cfc... So yeah,
that should work fine (although maybe its not exactly the proper
VARIABLES scope).
The better test might be:
<cffunction name="OnRequest">
<cfinclude template="#ARGUMENTS[ 1 ]#" />
</cffunction>
.... Then in the included template, do this:
<cfset foo = "bar" />
<cfdump var="#VARIABLES#" />
See if "foo" shows up in that one.

Subject: Re: variables scope & app.cfc methods
Variables (of some form) does exist and is usable:
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="OnRequestStart">
<cfset Apple = "Apple"/>
<cfset Request.Ball = "Ball"/>
<cfset Variables.Camel = "Camel"/>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="OnRequest">
<cfdump var="#Apple#"/>
<cfdump var="#Request#"/>
<cfdump var="#Variables#"/>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
This all worked.
The Variables in the third dump contained both Apple and Camel.
