I would tend to agree that you cannot do it this way because the application.cfc fires on first request.
If you can use IIS (or Apache) to do your redirect before the application.cfc fires you should be able to get the ones in the subfolders to fire first, then do an include at the top of each to include the original application.cfc file to add the missing data... but I'd probably not call the one in the root application.cfc then... probably something like global_var_include.cfm or something.
