You've got lots of options for this, depending on how you create the
variable in the parent tag. If you set a local variable within the parent
tag, you can reference it from within the child tag using the GetBaseTagData
function:
<!--- cf_MyParentTag --->
<cfset Variables.X = "42">
<!--- end cf_MyParentTag --->
<!--- cf_MyChildTag --->
<cfset stBaseData = GetBaseTagData("cf_MyParentTag")>
<cfset ParentX = stBaseData.Variables.X>
<cfoutput>#ParentX#</cfoutput>
<!--- end cf_MyChildTag --->
Alternatively, there are all kinds of scopes available to both the parent
and child tags: Request, Caller (which for both parent and child tags will
resolve to the calling page's local Variables scope), Application, Session
and Server.
