Bingo.
CFINCLUDE doesn't care about your web server. It maps to files based
on its
own physical location in the file system. For example, say you have a
file
structure like so:
folderA
index.cfm
folderA1
folderA2
folder1
folder2
file123.cfm
Say you call index.cfm in folderA from the browser and index.cfm
CFINCLUDEs
file123.cfm from folder2.
Images, anchors, and forms in file123.cfm need relative pathing from
folderA
(since that's where your browser THINKS you are), but any CFINCLUDEs or
CFMODULEs need relative pathing from folder2 (since that's where you
REALLY
are).
You can CFINCLUDE files that are outside your web root...

The CFINCLUDE tag doesn't use web server mappings. It uses its own
mappings,
created in the CF Administrator, or relative paths through the
filesystem,
based on the location of the calling page.
