No need to apologize, I totally agree with you. A side effect like
that would be very poor practice. Maybe something like this would have
been better...
<cfscript>
function queryInstance( query, name ) {
"#ARGUMENTS.name#" = ARGUMENTS.query;
return "#ARGUMENTS.name#";
}
</cfscript>
<cfoutput query="#queryInstance( Instance.returnQuery(), "instanceQuery" )#">
#instanceQuery.column1#<br />
</cfoutput>
or...
<cfoutput query="#queryInstance( Instance.returnQuery(),
"VARIABLES.instanceQuery" )#">
#VARIABLES.instanceQuery.column1#<br />
</cfoutput>

Again, no augments here :o)
Plus it seems like a lot of work to allow the omission of a single
line of code - though I certainly know what its like to have a line of
code that bugs you because it just seems like there should be a better
way.

Thanks! Always good to be a little devious :o)
