As long as you always have a base case where the recursion stops, you're set. This is pretty much the only way to go if you need recusion on CF4.5 and less. If you're on CF5 or better, using a UDF is probably a wiser choice for performance reasons, although CF5 UDFs are CFSCRIPT only, so you can't do everything you might need to.
