Eric, It's just a tiny component that most of my components extend. It usually provided a bit of behavior that I want all my components to have. For instance, take a look at the Abstract component in Skin Spider:

It also provides a CFDump method declaration that can be used by all components that extend it (via THIS.CFDUmp()). Does that help? ......................
