As long as there is no "\" mapping on the server.
You could use expand path, as long as you set it from a file that always
runs form the same path.
So if you have in your application.cfm in the root
<cfset root = expandpath('../application/config')>
This will go back one folder in into the application folder.
This will only work as long as the application.cfm is not executed from a
file in a sub-directory, otherwise the expantpath() will be relative to the
file that executed it.
In which case, you need to cfinclude a file that is in the root, and that
sets the expandpath value, so it will always go back one folder form the
root.

Subject: Re: finding the base of the application
getBaseTemplatePath doesn't get me exactly what i need, but I found another
way to get what I want. Esentially I wanted to be able to load an XML from a
relative path that was below the webroot. Looking in the code for Tartan I
found the something to the affect of this.
<cfsavecontent variable="xml"><cfinclude
template="\application\config\config.xml" /></cfsavecontent>
This works really well and can be called from within a cfc regardless of
path context.
