The names of the folders don't change, but the path of the application could change. If I develop an application that has multiple functions and I want to break out a part of that functionality and move it somewhere else, then I have to go through and change the cfimport of all of my pages. Or another what if, what if my boss decides that part of the application that previously wasn't secure needs to be secure. Normally I would have a few options in securing that application, with cfimport I now have the added headache of not being able to move the files that need to be secured without having to potentially change the paths of cfimport. Not every solution can be thought of well in advance. Planning for unexpected changes is what I try to do and without having the flexibility of being able to point to where the root of my application is then cfimport becomes unusable for me and for many others.
