The file has to contain the code. You pass data into the tag using the
Attribute scope and you return data using the caller scope.

Example:

sample.cfm
--------------
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<cf_mytag attrib1="hello" attrib2="world">
<br>
<cfoutput>#mytag.success#</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>


mytag.cfm
--------------
<cfoutput>#Attributes.attrib1# #Attributes.attrib2#</cfoutput>
caller.mytag.success=true


Output:
--------------
hello world
true
