If you return THIS from the init() method, you only get reference to
Instance methods.
No Instance variables are returned.
>From the below example..
user = createObject("Component", "User");
This will fail, if you return THIS Instead of Variables.
<cfoutput>#variables.user.firstName#</cfoutput>
Are you using "This", so you can declare Accessor Methods to get Instance
Variables?
