>>So tell me, how do you currently cope with multiple developers wanting to
make changes to the same file? 

I am just moving from a ONE developer environment to a COUPLE OF 
developers "team",
this is why I used the term "Simple". ;-)

 >>Do they download the file from a central
server and then make their changes? 

No, everyone has a complete set of files on his PC, develop and test on 
it, then upload modification on the server, when everything work fine. 
Then others are warned and the get the new files by FTP from the server.
Usually, I create a new sub-directory for any new module to develop, but 
there are a certain number of files that a common to all modules, like 
custom tags, application.cfm, language specific text files, etc.

 >>Do you restrict developers from working
on the same files often?

Yes, but generally for a short period of time, and we deal with this by 
telephone or eMail.
I was just imagining that there could exist some more efficient method 
for programmers ;-)
 
 >> What if they both actually need to work on the
same file over the course of a day or two day's worth of work, do they spend
all day juggling the file back 'n forth?

The longer they have to work on a file, the more likely they are alone 
to work on it, so it is not a problem.
In this case, the file is locked only for security, it is not really a 
restriction.
