hmm... Depending on the App you might get away with a CF mapping instead, but the issue is simple.
All it is, is a directory structure that will be included as part of the website. So when the code is run in there it should run using the same Application.cfm / Application.cfc that is used from the calling Application. So what does that mean, remove the need for Application.cfm altogether from your common VD.
