Well Darcey, I might be missing something, but I don't see anywhere in your sample where you are first calling the "example()" method in this CFC, which is where the variables.nonPublicVar is created. You would first need to call "example()" so that variables.nonPublicVar is created, and *then* call "more()" which should append the string onto variables.nonPublicVar. If you call more() without calling example() first, then variables.nonPublicVar does not exist.
