I'd a read of the CFCs best practices primer that we have on the Mach-II
wiki:
ColdFusion Components (CFCs) - A Primer
ColdFusion Components (CFCs) serve as the basis for object-oriented
programming (OOP) in CFML. Since Mach-II is an OO-based framework, it is
crucial to understand CFCs to be able to use Mach-II successfully. This
CFC Primer was created to give developers some background and history of
the CFML language from the standpoint of enabling modular application
development. The primer also intends to introduce developers to the
power of CFCs and why it is important to take advantage of CFCs in
building applications.

will that instance of 'foo' overwrite the instance
of foo called before the UDF?
Depends on what specifically you're doing and how you've scoped your
variables.
Or are local variables isolated to the
processing of the UDF, but not included in the document that called
the function?
Are you var-scoping all your function variables in your CFC or do you
have auto-var-scoping turned on?
