Bryan and David: Thanks for suggestions. Good one.
Would this be an issue -- I have arrays passing in and out of CFWDDX so I can pass the arrays between pages. There's no point at which the CFWDDX tags are not serielizing or deserilizing a non client-scoped variable, nor are variables being passed between templates (except part of the same group (called at the same time) of includes. But could there be a moment in time, when variables are just local variables, between getting passed between CFWDDX tags when they could be vulnerable to getting mixed up?
