Technically, ../page.cfm is always relative to the web root if you're already AT the web root. If I have www.mysite.com/file1.cfm and in there a link page to www.mysite.com/index.cfm, it doesn't matter if I link back to the home page as href="index.cfm", href="../index.cfm", or even href="../../../../index.cfm". Of course it's ridiculous to even do any of that, but it illustrates the point that once the web root is hit, all the other "ups" don't have any effect, at least in IIS. This might not be the case with the missing template handler, but it still doesn't work without using a mapping.
