Incredible timing!! , I was reading about this stuff today here http://www.iknowkungfoo.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/9/13/Object-Oriented-Coldfusion--6--The-Bean-Object
That lead me to http://www.alagad.com/go/blog-entry/variables-instance and to http://www.chapter31.com/2007/06/14/using-variablesinstance-inside-your-components/ When I saw Sean's response to your first email it reminded me of this comment @ http://www.alagad.com/go/blog-entry/variables-instance " I do it for basically the same reason. I originally used the word "Private", but that was adviced against. I pretty sure it was Sean Cornfield who was one of the original ones who pushed for people to use the variables.instance name. Posted By: Dan G. Switzer, II on Jun 22, 2007 " I found Sean's response to this email very interesting since it contradicted the comment I read on that blog. Personally I understand now the reason for using variables.instance. I'm leaning towards the use of the object name instead of "instance" though. The reasons are explained in one of the blog entries I mentioned up here.
