I'm not sure I understand the problem you're having ... Normally, how the CFFORM validation works is that the form is validated from the top down.
Let's say you have name = required address = required zip = zip validate credit card = cc validate the script will first find "name" blank if it's left blank, but if it's filled out, then "address" will trigger if it's left blank, etc. That's default behavior. So I'm not clear on what other behavior you might be seeing.
