Theoretically, the attributes scope is only available in custom tags. However, if in the application.cfm you create a variable like this:
<cfset attributes.myvar = "myvalue"> I am not sure how ColdFusion reacts. I suspect you are creating a structure in the variables scope with the name attributes and a single key called myvar. (in CFMX, at least). In previous versions of ColdFusion, I suspect you are creating a simple value in the variables scope where the name of the variable contains a period.
