It depends. In the example you give where your logic is of the form:
<cfif {somecondition}>
{dosomeinitialprocessing}
</cfif>
{donormalprocessing}
There's nothing inherently bad in that being in a single method
although I might be inclined to have both {do...processing} pieces in
separate (private) methods that are called from the main method.
Of course, you haven't shown us how you are using the CFC and that
might change my recommendation...
