If I understand you correctly, yes, this is the way things are. The entire page is parsed before runtime, so even though your CFIF may be false at runtime, the CF server doesn't know that when it's parsing the page. If you have a syntax error, that error will be trapped when the page is parsed, before it has a chance to run.
