The error you have there is a *compile time* *syntax* error, the code will be compiled before the request is 'run' which is why you see the error. If you change the code in index.cfm to <cfset variable = undefinedVar />, the code will compile fine and will then abort in your app.cfm as the error that would be thrown by the undefined var would be a *runtime* error.
