CFINCLUDE always looks from where the including template is, not where the base template is. Therefore if you have a call to your error.cfm from one of your child templates then likely the path in your CFINCLUDE will need to be ../error.cfm
If you want to use paths always from your base template in CFINCLUDE's then you need to set up a mapped path.
