If I remember correctly, doesn't cfmodule create a whole new memory
block for every call, where as the cfinclude will only use the existing
memory space and be part of the normal page cache?
Even if this isn't true for CFMX any more, personally, I'd probably lean
towards the cfinclude method, because
a) thats what I'm used to,
b) I find it visually easier to read
c) I feel like can tinker with the header and footer dynamically
with a cfinclude than a cfmodule.
and d) Easier to get to the header and footers if I need to change
them or simply replace them.
What goes on inside the the cfmodule? Is the header and footer actually
inside the cfmodule template or does it include the header and footer
templates? If it includes them, then it'd be a bit of a pointless call
to the cfmodule, if its in the cfmodule template, then refer to my point
(d) above. ;)
