I don't know if this will help your research, but just for grins I did the
following:
First I created a template with the following:
<cfset vara='Whatever'><cfset varb=5><cfset varc=vara & ' ' & varb>
<cfset cfcode = "<cfoutput>#VarA#<br>#VarB#<br>#VarC#</cfoutput>">
<cfoutput>
Here is the code's output-<br>
#CFCode#<br>
</cfoutput>
It gave me the output:
Here is the code's output-
Whatever
5
Whatever 5
*BUT* If I move the <cfset> tags inside the variable definition, like so:
<cfset cfcode = "<cfset vara='Whatever'><cfset varb=5><cfset varc=vara & ' '
& varb><cfoutput>#VarA#<br>#VarB#<br>#VarC#</cfoutput>">
<cfoutput>
Here is the code's output-<br>
#CFCode#<br>
</cfoutput>
it blows up with an undefined VarA.
Hope this helps,
