It does, thank you. May I ask how you know this? Many people seem to 
have an insight into the inner workings of CF that I can't find in 
any of the reference manuals (and yes, my Ben Forta books are on the 
way from the bookstore right now). Is there another source that you 
would suggest that I look up to acquire this class of info?

Interestingly enough, the fusebox white paper suggest that cfmoduled 
templates don't have access to application variables. I might have 
misread. I'll look into that again.

I sure does. Thanks!
