That's a nasty problem, because the Application.cfm file might not be in the same directory as the base template, because CF looks up the directory tree until it finds one. I think you'll want to start with cgi.script_name and getBaseTemplatePath() in your base template. The compute the part of the full path that'd different from the script_name, and then compare that to the response getCurrentTemplatePath(), and see what's different. Then you can apply those differences to cgi.script_name to compute the URL to Application.cfm. That assumes that if you call getBaseTemplatePath() from Application.cfm, that it will return the template path of the actual requested page, but that might not be the case.
