Hi Jeff,
Recently I've added a new mock object component to CFUnit:
http://rbdev.net/devblog/index.php?entry=entry061128-130441

It took me a while to figure out how mock objects might work in ColdFusion. But 
I have been using them consistently since I added it to the framework, and I 
have to say, its really made my unit test far more stable (and faster). 

Your right – the idea scenario would be to have unit tests that test a single 
unit of code as if it were in a vacuum, excluding all outside factors. And mock 
objects are a great way to accomplish that. Doing this not only make your unit 
test more stable and accurate, but it helps avoid getting the same 
error/failure multiple times simply because they are all dependent on the same 
piece of code.

So, as you can tell, I am now a strong advocate of mock objects in ColdFusion.
