Whoa, not so fast -
Scopes are also available as structures, but the main issue is Visibility -
that is from what CFM templates can you access the variables - check the
online help it gives a decent coverage of it.
What you're doing is just creating a structure variable inside the variables
scope: Variables.Sql.Squid

I'm gonna toss in my quick two cents here.
It appears to me that "scope" in CF is purely arbitrary, and in
fact, is
just a different way of representing a structure. It occured to me
the other
day that I can create any darn scope I want.
For example, I, as a habit (bad or good you decide) take any
variable that's
gonna be saved as text into SQL, and PReserveSingleQuotes on it.
I've also
noted that you cannot directly say, in the midst of a CFQUERY,
"INSERT
'#PreserveSingleQuotes(squid)#'"' you gotta do the PSQ first.
SoOo, what I do is, if I have a var squid, I'll say "CFSET sql.squid
=
PReserveSingleQuotes(squid)", thus, creating a new variable, which
I've
scoped as "sql." I note that you can use any darn name you like, so
long as
it isn't already a predefined CF scope.
I think that behind the scenes, any variable is being implicitly
scoped
anyway, and in fact, is being stored as a structure. Its just a
theory, but
I think its right...
