It depends. Application.cfm is going to run at the top of every page - regardless of whether it's a display page or not. So you can do it, but I would guess you'd run into a case sooner or later when you don't want that DTD up there. > I was thinking I'd save myself some small bit of server load > if it only > processed te application.cfm, as opposed to processing > application.cfm AND > a cfinclude. Well - it's still doing both (whether the file is included in the application.cfm or not, it's still cfincluded) but the total hit should be negligable in both cases. > And then there's the footer and the onrequestend.cfm file... Same thing - the file is run all the time regardless - and sooner or later you'll not want that stuff in the page and have to work around it. That's not to say it can't be worked around... Personally I just prefer to keep my Application.cfm/OnRequest.cfm as "clean" as possible. That's just personal preference however.
