I'm not sure what you are saying here? The request scope only lasts for one
request. So, the first time you hit Index.cfm, this is what happens:
Application.cfm is process
CFA_ApplicationInitialize is called
This calls cfa_globalsettings which sets up vars in the request scope.
Index.cfm is processed
If index.cfm has code that calls globalsettings, the tag is smart enough to
know it's already been run on that request.
This is intended behaviour, ie, the setting of request crap for each hit and
should not be a bad thing.
By the way, this:
> <cfif isdefined('request')>
will _always_ be true since Request is a scope. It's kind of like doing
IsDefined("Application").
