Daverms is right. But Owain and Adam are also right - you should test these things to find out. It's a much better way to learn, it actually takes less time than to wait for an answer, and you're more likely to remember the answer.

Dan makes a good point. Most oftent he fastest way to test these things is to just try it. What's the harm in just giving something a go and see what happens? It's the best way to learn things. Asking people the answer is not a good way to learn things.

Oh man, that sounds like the kind of stupid question you'd get in the CF exam, to which you'd be looking for the evasive answer e) No-one knows, it's a stupid question, if I ever wanted to know I'd just try it.

Seriously, you could've tried it yourself in the time it takes the Adobe forums to load.

I'm about to go make myself a coffee, can someone let me know in advance whether or not I'll have to top up the kettle please.

Even if you have both Application.cfm and Application.cfc files in your project folder, only the "Application.cfc" will be processed and you will have access to only those global variables that you define as part of your Application.cfc template.
