The request scope is helpful as a kind of global constant since
it exists as a global variable. This helps particularly when you
are nesting custom tags and don't want to get bogged down with
#caller.caller.variables#
Beware though that its possible to over-write a request variable
from separate templates - they can't be locked AFAIK.
Some fusebox apps use request scope a lot BTW

Is any one out there using the request variables extensively?
I'd like to know more about the request scope and how to use it. I've found
very little in my documentation (4.0.1) and have searched the allaire
knowledge
base with no obvious results (a lot comes up but the titles lead me to
believe
they were not pertinent). I've heard that using request scope variables can
help limit the "need" for session and/or application variables so that the
necessity of locking is minimized and in some cases eliminated. I also
admit
that I could have heard this out of context.
Any clarification and information would be appreciated.
Thanks, in advance,
Carol

Yup, just tested on our 4.0.1 server and it worked perfectly
