You have to do it as an include, the function declaration actually happens
on parsing of the template you see, so when your custom tag gets hit on the
end tag that parser "reads" the custom tag template again, and sees a
declaration for isOperator - no matter that it won't be used this time
around. A CFINCLUDE'd file won't be parsed ("read") until the CFINCLUDE is
executed, so it is an effective work around.
<CFIF NOT isDefined("isOperator")>
<CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="thisOperator.cfm">
</CFIF>
and thisOperator.cfm contains
<cfscript>
function IsOperator( value ) {
blah blah blah;
return something;
}
</cfscript>

Subject: UDFs in a Custom Tag problem
> Hello developers,
>
> I'm writing a custom tag, and I've written some UDFs to clean up some of
the code within the custom tag. Only the custom tag uses these UDFs -
they're pretty specialized - so I thought it would be easiest to just put
them right inside the template for the custom tag. Here's my general
structure:
>
> <cfif thistag.executionmode EQ "start">
> <cfscript>
> function IsOperator( value ) {
> blah blah blah;
> return something;
> }
> </cfscript>
> more code
> </cfif>
> <cfif thistag.executionmode EQ "end">
> some output, etc.
> </cfif>
>
> I get this error:
> "Routines cannot be declared more than once. The routine IsOperator has
been declared twice in different templates."
>
> I have found that this error occurs at the very beginning of the "end
ExecutionMode" of the tag.
>
> I can't figure out how to stop this error. Any ideas? Thanks
