I echo what Barney said....but i also see a valid point in what Micheal is saying i think....if I have a CFC called form_validator.cfc I should be able to use it on a form...but I think that kinda defeats some of the concepts that CFC are supposed to be used for...its like making a CSS class RedHeader...which yes i am ashamed to say we have IDs like that yes IDs not classes IDs we use IDs more than once...becuase that makes completely good sense ;)
