If you're looking for a good way to map inheritance in your CFCs, CFC Mapper will allow you to browse all of your CFC parents and children:
http://cfcmapper.riaforge.org/ Unfortunately, if you are instantiating CFCs from within templates, this won't help. The only way around this is to pass an additional argument... Perhaps called 'referrer' or something... And use a CGI.SCRIPT_NAME as the value of that referrer argument?

Is there any way for a component to 'know' where it was called from? From what I know, the answer is no but I'm hoping I'm wrong. I have to write a trace/debug for mach-ii and need to know what component was called, from where, what was passed and what errors occurred (and were caught with a try/catch).
