i've mentioned the cfinclude issue on the farcry-dev list and I believe
that there are plans to rid the code of such constructs.
No one said cfinclude within cffunction isn't doable, it's just not
thread safe. A lot of the CFC code in farcry (including the snippet you
posted) is not persistant, so the issues with using cfinclude within
cffunction would not appear.
#3 below is the best way (IMO), to use function libraries w/ CFCs.

three points:
1)
Jay Gibb >> under what conditions do you find yourself using UDFs?
Barney Boisvert >>Very rarely.
what about data manip function libraries, re-usable validation routines,
etc? we convert (almost) all of our queries to arrays'o'structs. It
would be madness to have the same util functions within every CFC. We
use 3) below to do this. See if you can track down Robin Hilliards
"autobean" framework that does this in (IMHO) quite a cute way.
2) mind the difference between cfimport (aka "cftaglib") and cfinclude.
The way the variable scopes interact is a factor to consider between
them. Not always relavent but it can bite you in the bum...
To show that cfinclude within a CFC's method is do-able, check out this
data access method in the fourQ framework within FarCry CMS.
<cffunction name="getData" access="public" output="false"
returntype="struct"
hint="Get data for a specific objectid and return as a structure,
including array properties and typename.">
<cfargument name="objectid" type="uuid" required="true">
<cfargument name="dsn" type="string" required="false"
default="#application.dsn#">
<cfargument name="dbowner" type="string" required="false"
default="#ucase(application.dbowner)#">
<cfset var stObj = structNew()>
<cfset var qgetData = "">
<cfset var tablename = "">
<cfset var aProps = "">
<cfset var key = "">
<cfinclude template="_fourq/getData.cfm">
<cfset this.bgetData = 1>
<cfreturn stObj>
</cffunction>
3) more and more people are creating persistant (app or server scope)
central or "kernel" CFC's (singletons - only one instanciated) that have
their utils available at all times. You could also "decorate" your CFC's
with the util ones (a "has a" relationship)
just a thought or two
