I agree with this post, but there is another not too recommended way of getting that UDF, place it in say session scope and then you can access it from within your CFC

  You shouldn't need to.  If you need a utility function, it should be a
  method of the CFC you're in.  CFCs should stand on their own as much as
  possible, so they don't need any external resources (other than method
  arguments) to function.  That's not always possible, but it usually is.

  If you really have a function you need to use, and it doesn't make sense to
  put the function in the CFC directly, put it in another CFC that you don't
  instantiate, you just call methods on statically.  In other words, CFINVOKE
  with the name of the CFC, not CFOBJECT or createObject() and then a method
  call on the object.  You can then call that method from your CFC as if it
  where a UDF, and you don't have to include it anywhere first.

    Hey All,

    Can  a UDF be used inside a CFC is the UDF is included in the template
  that
    calls the CFC? or the UDF is included via Application.cfm?
