why use the application scope, when you have the request scope and you don't have to mess with locking.

These look like variables that don't change - I'd do a CFIF test on one, and if it doesn't exist then set them all. As long as you always set them all together, you can use the existence of one to test for all. This way the app vars are set only once, and don't bog down your pages, since Application.cfm is called with every request.
