This answer rocks!!! :)

Anyway, for my mediocre answer:
I set any CF->javascript variables BEFORE the javascript file reference is
made in the result HTML.
Set them as normal javascript variables, which are globally scoped to the
page.
eg.
----
cfset CFMjscriptVarforExample = 'I will be passed to a .js file which can
manipulate me'
cfoutput
script
var jscriptVarforExample = #CFMjscriptVarforExample#
/script
script src="/javascript/jsFileWhichExpects_jscriptVarforExample.js"
/script
/cfoutput
