cfmodule is great for encapsulating code from the calling template. If you
are familiar with Custom Tags, then it's easy to understand that cfmodule
treats the called template in the exact same way calling a Custom Tag would.
Any variables set in a Custom Tag (and a cfmoduled template) are not
available to the calling template unless you specifically scope the variable
to the caller scope.
cfmodule is more complicated to understand than cfinclude and for the most
part, you do not need to use cfmodule if you are just starting out with
ColdFusion. cfinclude will get you by just fine.
Good luck,
