Using variables on included files?

Question

Can you not use #variable# on a file that is added on an
existing .cfm file
with <cfinclude> ??
I have:
<cfquery name="check_user" datasource="SalleBoise">
select u_id,u_fName,u_lName,u_foil_rating,u_foil_year
from tournfencer
where u_user='#form.Username#'
</cfquery>
<cfinclude template="inc/event_reg.cfm">
- event_reg.cfm is-
<cfform name="form1" method="post"
action="CF/process2.cfm?pmode=a&tid=#url.tid#"
id="FormBorder"
style="margin-top:2px;"><span class="bold">Events
competing in:</span><table
width="98%" border="0">
<cfif #url.f# eq 1>
<tr>
<td width="15%" align="center">Open Foil</td>
<td width="10%" align="center"><input
name="OpenFoil" type="checkbox"
value="1" checked="yes" onClick="optionFoil(this.form)">
</td>
</tr>
</cfif>
<cfif #url.e# eq 1>
<tr>
<td align="center">Open Epee </td>
<td align="center"><input name="OpenEpee"
type="checkbox" value="1"
checked="yes" onClick="optionEpee(this.form)"></td>
</tr>
</cfif>
</table>
<cfset id=createuuid()>
<input type="hidden" name="id"
value="<cfoutput>#id#</cfoutput>">
<input type="hidden" name="fRating"
value="<cfoutput>#check_user.u_foil_rating#</cfoutput>">
<div align="center">
<input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Register"
onClick="return
checkmail(this.form.FencerEmail)">
</div>
</cfform>
But if I dump the variable #fRating#, I get a message that
says Element
U_FOIL_RATING is undefined in CHECK_USER

I have the code as:
event_reg.cfm:
<cfform name="form1" method="post"
action="CF/process2.cfm?pmode=a&tid=#url.tid#"
id="FormBorder"
style="margin-top:2px;"><span class="bold">Events
competing in:</span><table
width="98%" border="0">
<cfif #url.f# eq 1>
<tr>
<td width="15%" align="center">Open Foil</td>
<td width="10%" align="center"><input
name="OpenFoil" type="checkbox"
value="1" checked="yes" onClick="optionFoil(this.form)">
</td>
</tr>
</cfif>
<cfif #url.e# eq 1>
<tr>
<td align="center">Open Epee </td>
<td align="center"><input name="OpenEpee"
type="checkbox" value="1"
checked="yes" onClick="optionEpee(this.form)"></td>
</tr>
</cfif>
</table>
<cfset id=createuuid()>
<input type="hidden" name="id"
value="<cfoutput>#id#</cfoutput>">
<cfdump var="#fRating#">
<input type="hidden" name="fRating"
value="<cfoutput>#check_user.u_foil_rating#</cfoutput>">
<div align="center">
<input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Register"
onClick="return
checkmail(this.form.FencerEmail)">
</div>
</cfform>
