In the case of an "un-typed" language (or pseudo-typed as CF tends to be),
you are correct. I was speaking more from a conceptual standpoint . . .
I've generally found it better to declare variables up front, even in
languages that support late-binding or just-in-time declaration. Underneath
the hood, I doubt it really matters today, with most compilers performing
the same optimizations regardless of where you put your declarations. It
does however enforce a discipline to coding that I believe provides a
benefit in terms of code clarity, and it forces developers to think through
a function from start to finish instead of the "code as you go" method of
programming.
