Well, it's sort of irrelevant that it's outside the web root (or is it). The important thing is that the CFC exists ABOVE the calling page. How can you create a path using dot notation to a file that's above your calling page?

The dot.delimited.path.from.the.webroot should work, but i think you're indicating that it's outside of the webroot? If so, you can move it under the webroot, or find a way to create a mapping to it.
