Really? Now, that is bad. Since this is a bad week for me assuming
stuff, let me explain in case other's don't get what Jeff means...
In CF, if you do:
<CFSET X.Ray = 1>
you are NOT creating a structure. You are creating a var called "X.Ray".
To correctly make a structure and save data, you must _always_ do <CFSET
X = StructNew()> first.
