No, cflock isn't limited to locking variables. Yes, cflock is used for mem ory variables (server, session, application) but remember cflock doesn't "l ock" anything, it merely coordinates access between similar locks (same sco pe or same name).
If you use cflock with the name attribute, all you're doing is coordinating all the cflocks with that same name attribute. And inside the cflock can be anything - I use it around a cffile so our app doesn't try to write to a particular file when someone else is writing to it at the same time.
