I tend to scope these, it is not out of worry of me not knowing what I am referencing or even of someone else coming in and not knowing. I think it is more of just out of habbit and it just gets typed. I do know at one time I came across a prior developers work who would be in a <cfoutput query="myquery"> and they would start referencing things out of other scopes but they never did prefix any variables. It added some time to debuging a problem when their query was just SELECT * FROM MYTABLE. A lot of the things I do in regards to scoping are usually direct results of having to debug someone elses code where no scoping was done at all. This made me over time realize I am probably better off typing things out more times than not, just so it avoids confusion when never knowing the skill level or mindset of whoever it is coming in after me.
