Hey, I don't know if this is possible. I want to take a class file from the cfclasses/ directory and run it from the command line outside of the CF server. It complains about not being able to find some cf related classes. I assume this is not at all possible since the classes include lots of CF

I would personally say having more files is less complex and far easier to manage and I have been of that opinion for a long time since I worked with monolithic files (I once thought that was a good idea too). There are of course some caveats to that, The more files approach would have to
