CFC methods are local to the CFC. There is no chance of a name collision
unless you specifically scope the function to an external scope (i.e.
application). If you try to call a function that doesn't exist in the CFC
(or one of its superclasses) you will get an error.

If a function within a CFC calls another function within the same CFC,
is it necessary to qualify the function call with "this" or "variables"?
What if there is a known possibility of a name collision with a function
outside of the CFC?
For example:
<cfcomponent displayname="math">
<cffunction name="multiply" ... >
<cfargument name="num_1" type="numeric" required="yes">
<cfargument name="num_2" type="numeric" required="yes">
<cfreturn arguments.num_1 * arguments.num_2 >
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="square" ... >
<cfargument name="num" type="numeric" required="yes">
<!--- WHICH (IF ANY) OF THE FOLLOWING THREE LINES IS CORRECT? --->
<cfreturn multiply( num, num ) >
<cfreturn this.multiply( num, num ) >
<cfreturn variables.multiply( num, num ) >
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Thanks,
