Just pass it in as an argument.
<cfset obj = createObject("component",
"mycfc").init(datasource="myDatasource")>
Ensure your init() method returns "this" to use the syntax above.
Alternatively, make a small struct of useful settings and pass that in.

that is Blasphemy! Heresy!, well he was just kidding, but seriously
what is best practise? Should it be passed as an argument?
