I don't think you can protect the variables in the Variables scope in a parent component so that child components cannot access them.
I think you are right about the "include" nature of components. <cfcompnent name="Child" extends="Parent" > seems to be similar to <cfcomponent name="Child" > <cfinclude template="Parent.cfc" > with the exception that it is OK to declare a function in the Child component with the same name as a function in the Parent component.

I try to do an inherit component and when I use variables structure all of my variables are used too in inherit component. I must use a specific name structure that I hope another people doesn't use it in inherit component to be sure that he can't change my variable in first component. Why variables struct is used in all inherit components and not specific to the component ? It seems that first component is included in the inherit component ? right or not ?
