Why not the simpler form:

Correct me if I am wrong, but is this not new to CFMX?
Since you've already said this...
        variables.firstName = structNew();
...CF knows it's a struct and so you can just assign to members of it.
(No, I don't have CF5 handy to test that statement but I'm *fairly* 
sure I'm right)

What is new is being able to say:
        foo.bar = 1;
*without* first saying:
        foo = structNew();
