The short answer is, no, current browsers don't care where your JavaScript
is, as long as functions and objects are defined before they're referenced.
However, standards compliance is a good thing, all other things being equal,
and future browsers may care.
Fortunately, you can deal with this using the CFHTMLHEAD tag, which writes a
string to the HTML HEAD of the document. By itself, it's difficult to use
with strings containing JavaScript, so you can build yourself a little
four-line custom tag to automatically escape the strings:
<cfif ThisTag.ExecutionMode is "end">
<cfhtmlhead text="#ThisTag.GeneratedContent#">
<cfset ThisTag.GeneratedContent = "">
</cfif>
