in that scenario you have to deal with the limitation by making sure you can always reference the cfc relatively. This would be by having the component in the same folder as the file that calls it, or have them at the root of your site all in the same folder. But even these methods can be unreliable on a shared server, as CF has a tendency to not look for a cfc in the path order it is supposed to. i.e. it sometimes checks custom tag paths first, and will thus fail to find your CFC or will try and use someone elses if they have one with the same name.
I have found mappings to be the only reliable method.
