>First, what's wrong with setting local variables in Application.cfm? I don't like the (potential) scoping implications of it... local variables set in the application.cfm, particularly for some of the most common variables that are set this way (dsn/datasource for instance) are then not available to custom tags. Sure you can add <cfset request.dsn = variables.dsn> on the line below, but then you're doubling up the code needed to set it, and in the individual pages you've got some references to request.dsn and lots of references to #dsn# (with no scope). It boils down more to a matter of bad scoping habbits than one really of setting variables in the application.cfm, but personally I consider it poor practice to set local variables there -- much better to use Application.cfm only to set request, cookie and persistent-scope variables.
