Yes, it makes most sense to wait for system B interface specs - then you can write System A interface. You may take a risk and modify system A's CFCs to call the System A interface since you know what data you need. System A interface may use simQuery to simulate connection to system B interface which you don't know about.
As more systems need to connect to system B that system may add new interface or expand current one and make it "global" - depends on a setup. As for your 2nd paragraph, if system A needs to connect to system C, D and I as well to get some data, you probably should develop another interface(s) in system A for all these connections - keep it tidy.

This makes alot of logical sense. So i suppose there is nothing i can do until i find out about the system B interfaces. Then if my system is system A, and it gets data from system b, c, and d, i will need to develop a different cfc (or set of cfc's) that will interface with each of the systems individual interface cfc's.
