The problem here is that the page is completely parsed before it's executed.
When it's parsed, CF doesn't know whether the CFIF will execute or not -
that's a runtime decision. So, CF can't guarantee that there will be both an
opening and a closing CFOUTPUT tag. This is why you can't nest an opening or
a closing tag by itself within a CFIF block - you need to nest both the
opening and the closing tags.
This won't work:
<cfif sometest>
<cfoutput>
</cfif>
....
<cfif sometest>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
This will work:
<cfif sometest>
<cfoutput>
...
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
