A Quick CFC Help?

it is not very clear what you mean...
are the 2 queries in the same cfc method or in different methods?

if they are in 2 different methods (functions) of the same cfc, then
just call the first function from the second function to get the result
o the first function into a var:

<cfcomponent>

<cffunction name='f1' returntype='numeric' access='public' output='no'>
<cfset var q1 = ''>
<cfquery name='q1' datasource='...'>
SELECT x FROM y WHERE ...
</cfquery>
<cfreturn q1.recordcount />
</cffunction>

<cffunction name='f2' returntype='numeric' access='public' output='no'>
<cfset var f1q1recordcount = function1()>
<cfreturn f1q1recordcount />
</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

if function f1 was in a separate cfc, then you just invoke that cfc in
the f2 function via your preferred method, i.e.:

<cffunction name='f2' returntype='numeric' access='public' output='no'>
<cfset objOtherCFC = createobject('component', 'path.to.other.cfc')>
<cfset var f1q1recordcount = objOtherCFC.function1()>
<cfreturn f1q1recordcount />
</cffunction>
