You should not really use cfmodule, it's pretty much more for using custom tags. Although you can use it to include page templates as well, but the difference between cfmodule and cfinclude is for cfmodule, it does not share variables between caller page and sub pages, all the values you want to operate on must be passed in as attributes.
However, cfinlude DOES share variables between them. So in your case, I think you should really use cfinclude instead.

Here is test.cfm:

Title="Test Title"

FooterTitle="Test Footer Title">
