Hey Taco,
I didn't understand your issue before (my bad) and now I understand
your issue and having a quick test, I can see why your went with your
solution.
The expandPath("/") will happily return the webroot's location, which
isn't always the application root.
Every test I attempted ended up hardcoding at least one value, which,
to keep apps portable, would not be ideal.
doing a cfinclude in a CFC always feels wrong, but in this case seems
to be required.
