if you have "var = x;" in the function (or an argument called "x") then it will return THAT "x", otherwise it will default to the "variables" scope. Similar to a "normal" cfm file... and I recommend always prefixing ALL your variables in CFCs and CFMs.

Are there any instances where returning 'x' can return something other than 'variables.x', for example if you have "var x = 0" at the start of function f?
