CFMX should behave just like CF5 in respect to scope lookup (except, possibly, in some weird corner cases). However, it is certainly better practice to always use scope qualifiers when referring to variables...

RE: CFMX scope searching ?
I just ran a test on CFMX 6.1 and I'm not sure if it's exactly the same or not, here's the order I received: 1. variables 2. url 3. form 4. cookie 5. client ...but: request, application, and query scoped values are not read. Try: cfset request.Bob=request!--- or switch out application for request --- cfoutputBob = #Bob#/cfoutput Or: cfscript Test=QueryNew(Bob); QueryAddRow(Test, 1); QuerySetCell(Test, Bob, query, 1); /cfscript cfoutputBob = #Bob#/cfoutput Both examples throw an error. Is this how CF5 was? I always thought request vars, at least, would creep a little into the local vars territory...

LiveDocs: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/5.0/CFML_Reference/ Expressions3.htm When a variable does not have a scope prefix, ColdFusion searches for it in the following sequence: Local variables created using cfset and cfquery CGI File URL Form Cookie Client You can compare this with CFMX 6.1: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/variab38.htm If you use a variable name without a scope prefix, ColdFusion checks the scopes in the following order to find the variable: Arguments Variables (local scope) CGI Cffile URL Form Cookie Client So the behavior is basically the same. No request scope.

RE: CFMX scope searching ?
This is no real difference in the scope lookup order - however CFMX does add some new scopes to the list (but it doesn't change the order of the old ones).
