Kay,
I see what you are trying to do. What you were attempting perhaps was a
scope facade.
I would suggest something like:
<cfset sFacade = createObject("component","config").setScope("application")>
<cfset sFacade.setVariable("variableName",variableValue)>
This was you just add variables to the scope that you initialize with and
then you can use getters and setters to have an agnostic way of setting
values into scope inside of other CFCs. I like these approaches as I
typically do not want to put shared scopes into my CFCs.
