A single request (and thus any variable in the request scope) cannot be
shared by multiple users, but a single user can make multiple simultaneous
requests. That is why cflocking session and client variables is important.

IT strikes me that possibly the confusion stems not so much from
understanding the request scope, but from not understanding the ways that
fusebox apps can be integrated and thus the ways that the request scope
could get overwritten for a particular user.

I've never had the need to incorporate a third party fusebox app and
actually little chance to reuse my code. The idea of calling a fusebox app
as a custom tag or how integration of multiple apps might work is confusing
to me (and others). But I suspect that this is exactly the area that the
request scope really becomes a problem.

The problem with variables of the same name getting overwritten during a
particular request would seem to exist with other scopes as well. The
problem really seems to be that the request scope goes so far as to
overwrite variables coming from custom tags.

There also seems to be some semantic confusion since my understanding is
that the request scope is limited to an individual request, but not an
individual user, even though these are effectively the same thing, aren't
they, since a single request can't be shared...
