If you use the extends attribute, you call methods in the PARENT cfc from the CHILD cfc. As for CFTRANSACTION, I'm not aware of any problems. I could be wrong, but if you're calling an inherited functions that contains a set of CFTRANSACTION tags, there should not be an issue because of the way CFCs are compiled. It's not like your calling 2 custom tags, with the opening CFTRANSACTION tag in the first, and the closing CFTRANSACTION tag in the last. >This obviously impacts on the use of CFTRANSACTION - I've seen a few >mentions of problems with this.
