The details of what is going on and why are pretty well explained in the 'developing coldfusion applcations' section of the ColdFusion livedocs website.
If you read the whole of the Using ColdFusion Variables section: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/variable.htm I think it will clear up most of the questions that have been asked here and a good many that will probably be asked in the future by other people.
