no... pretty sure the cfmodule tag isn't part of the issue
'cause it's just a local function call and if I change the
access to public or package it's fine... same thing if I
leave out the cfmodule call and just do something like this:
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="f" access="private">
<cfreturn "hello world">
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="f2" access="public">
<cfreturn this.f()>
</cffuntion>
</cfcomponent>
> I noticed that you're using cfmodule. Have you tried just
> using "tag('tapi')"?
