Am replying to this one a bit late...
Notes:
1. A query result overwrites a local variable and vice versa, bcoz defining
a query is like defining a local variable.
2. One can refer to 'client' variables without the scope.
so the precedence is :
Local variables ( also Query Result)
CGI variables
File variables
URL variables
Form variables
Cookie variables
Client variables
The following variables need to be scoped, always:
Session variables
Application variables
Server variables
Request variables

If you leave the prefix off variables then the variable scope precedence is
as follows:
Query result variables
Local variables
CGI variables
File variables
URL variables
Form variables
Cookie variables
(Straight out of the Fasttrack manual Unit 11 :-)
These are the only variables in which the precedence rules apply. All
attributes, session, application, client (and whatever's left) need to be
explicitly referenced by the appropriate prefix.
