Jeffry,
To my knowledge, Cold Fusion is not a typed language in the way you were
asking. It does, however, provide 3 types; simple variables, arrays and
structures.
If you can get back issues of the Cold Fusion Developers Journal, Ben Forta
wrote an excellent discussion of this in the September 2000 issue (Volume 2,
Issue 9). See pages 18 - 21.
