That would work as well. My aim is to separate the view layer from my
object layer by creating a *translating* layer. It might seem like more
upfront cost, but I think the payoff is in the flexibility. If anything
within the view changes I am not touching my object layer and thus
taking a risk at breaking the app.

How do you include this core.cfc into other CFCs? I do like the idea of
having a general set/get method.

What happens if the UI changes from let say HTML to Flash? Doesn't this
mean that you will have to modify your object cfc because the view is
integrated within?

I just read Holub's article. Applied to ColdFusion MX, I think it is a
good
argument to encapsulate more of your data access within CFCs, including
writing methods to do display instead of retrieving values to display on
your own. Once you put the display methods in your CFCs, then you can
dispense with the setter/getter methods. Holub says "Draw Thyself".
