I think this has something to do with the fact that I have several cfincludes involved and while the page calling the includes was getting refreshed, perhaps the includes were not when changes were made.
But that doesn't seem right, because my assumption was that if an included page is called, it's an automatic refresh...perhaps not. I had run into inconsistent responses from data/forms, etc., during development of this form and the includes, and sometimes had to close the page and revisit the site to get consistent and expected function.
