I'm not up on "official" XFB, but I believe the flaw in what you've said
below is that you would _never_ call
/grandparent/parent/index.cfm?fuseaction=child.doChildStuff. You always
call /grandparent/index.cfm?fuseaction=circuit.fuseaction - so it doesn't
matter where you are or what you're calling. You always call the root
fusebox and then it figures out where to go (i.e., which circuit(s) in
include) to find the proper fuseaction.
N'est pas?

Subject: Nesting circuits: I just don't get it! :(
I just can't get the light bulb to come on when it comes
to nesting circuits.
Here's what I understand: A circuit may have "child"
circuits that it uses to do specific tasks. These
children are stored in subdirectories instead of
just pointing to the fuseaction, we point to the
circuit name and the fuseaction, using that dot
notation.
That all makes sense. What I don't get is how a
self-contained circuit can become the child of
another circuit. How does it refer to its own
methods?
For example, suppose my app looks like this (I'm
using -'s to represent circuits and +'s to represent
fuseactions
- grandparent
+ doGrandParentStuff
+ doSomething
- parent
+ doParentStuff
- child
+ doChildStuff
+ doSomething
- otherparent
- child
+ doChildStuff
+ doSomething
Suppose parent is my home circuit. I have an XFA
that tells child to "doSomething" after it finishes
with "doChildStuff." This works fine when child
is the home circuit. I just call
/grandparent/parent/index.cfm?fuseaction=child.doChildStuff
and it redirects to
/grandparent/parent/index.cfm?fuseaction=child.doSomething
But what if I want grandparent to be the home app? I know
I can register parent.child in the circuits.cfm and call
it something like "ch1." That will allow me to use
/grandparent/index.cfm?ch1.doChildStuff, but when
doChildStuff exits to doSomething, it will blow up
because /grandparent/index.cfm?child.doSomething is
invalid.
How do I get around that? Am I doing something wrong?
