Hi Gav, to quote Sean 'it depends'. I think it's reasonable to have an Application cfc/cfm, say for example to enforce a security model, load a framework, etc. But it's totally possible to develop one or more services that stand alone and don't need to depend on anything like the application scope.
Note: when you say service, I think of soap, rest, http, XML... I think Robin could chime in here because "service" is a pretty broad term and this might deserve a Galaxy specific answer. From the little I understand, Galaxy seem to use the term "service" as a piece of code to wrap and access an existing application (?).
