Curiously, I do it the exact opposite way: <cfset variables.myVariable = "fubar" /> <!--- ensure that I am setting in the variables scope, because there could be a 'myVariable' in another scope --->
<cfoutput>#myVariable#</cfoutput> <!--- I have just guaranteed that I have variables.myVariable, there is no possibility (afaik) that I could be refering to another 'myVariable'. ---> However, I should probably scope both.
