Oblio, As you have found out, CFC creation paths are relative to the CALLING template, not the compiled-post-include-rendering-and-all-that-jazz object. Therefore, the CFC path is relative the included template, not the CFC. One option to over come this is to have a CreateCFC() method in an included template that is in a higher directory:
<cfinclude template="../../_fn_CreateCFC.cfm" /> Then, in each of your other include functions, you can assume that THIS.CreateCFC() is a valid method of the current component. Then, instead of calling CreateObject() with your path, call THIS.CreateCFC( "component_name" ) and you can handle all of the path stuff in the CreateCFC() method which will be higher than the current directory. Make sense? Here is a blog entry on the proof of concept (but not using CFCs exactly): http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:348.view ......................

However, I'm still running into trouble. Now that I've removed the functions to a subdirectory, all the code inside has to be modified to look for dependencies relatively. For example in my CFC, I instantiate another component in a subdirectory thus: component="subdir.component". However, when I remove the function to the same directory, I have to remove the "subdir." from the component location. In other words, even though the parent.cfc includes subdir/function.cfm, the function.cfm executes in context of 'subdir/', not '../'. I can't decide whether this is good or bad. Certainly not expected. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2. Build powerful, scalable RIAs.
