Generally, the USCIS is aware that people can withdraw a pending naturalization application for many reasons that have nothing to do with technical eligibility for naturalization. In adjudicating a future naturalization application, the USCIS adjudicating officer certainly will be aware that you had previously filed an application and then withdrew it, and depending upon the issue(s) that prompted the RFE, the same issues may receive heightened focus, but a future application will be adjudicated based upon legal eligibility. As you may recognize, RFEs generally are issued where an applicant failed to supply required documentation. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant details about you, including the details about the recently issued RFE, would be able to assure that your case is prepared and filled with 100% of the required documentation. That should avoid delays, RFEs and adverse adjudications.
