I understand how paired tags work, but apparently I wasn't clear enough in
describing what the symptom is...let me try to draw it out...
myFile.cfm
---> <cf_makeSomeFiles>
---> <cf_makeSomeHTML>
In other words, the "myFile.cfm" calls the <cf_makeSomeFiles> custom tag
ONCE (without a slash at the end). Then, the <cf_makeSomeFiles> calls the
<CF_makeSomeHTML> once without a slash at the end.
When I call <cf_makeSomeHTML>, the end result is that the "myFile.cfm"
template is getting invoked twice!!!
What is that all about?

If you have an opening and closing CF_MAKESOMEHTML tag, and you don't
explicitly write code within that tag to prevent it from running twice,
it'll run twice.
<cf_foo> <-- runs once
<cf_foo></cf_foo> <-- runs twice
<cf_foo/> <-- runs twice
To avoide this, within the custom tag, you can enclose all the other code
within this:
<cfif ThisTag.ExecutionMode is "start">
...
</cfif>
