title: Coldfusion Method Level scope definition
body: <p>What is be the best way to define method level variables scope?</p>
  
  <p>Some ColdFusion documents say it should be done like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;cfset Var testVariable = "this is a local variable"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But others, do it like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;cfset LOCAL = StructNew() /&gt;
  &lt;cfset LOCAL.testVariable  = StructNew() /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which way is better?</p>
