To solve this issue, I copied q1.recnum to the variables scope and used the variable inside the q2 loop:

<cfset variables.recnum = q1.recnum>
<cfloop query="q2">
    Inside q2 loop: <cfoutput>#variables.recnum#</cfoutput>
    <br>
</cfloop>

But now I know that there is another way: q1.recnum[q1.currentRow]

Thanks again.

But what you need to make it work is instead of Inside q2 loop: #q1.recnum#

use

<cfloop query="q2">
    Inside q2 loop: <cfoutput>#q1.recnum[q1.currentRow]#</cfoutput>
    <br>
</cfloop>

The current row is always correct where the loop gets messed up. This will force it to be correct.
