There are two things wrong here...
1) Between your custom tags do the following...
this is <cfoutput>#variables.mytest#</cfoutput>
2) There is no need to do this in your custom tag...
<cfset ThisTag.ExecutionMode = "">
The reason behind this is that you treat what is between the custom tag
as you would if the it was not between a custom tag. So the output would
be #variable.mytest#, so treat it the same way as anything else you want
the CF to process...
