Also, it always helps to remember that Application.cfc is in NO WAY special or different than any other CFC you will ever write. The only difference is that the CF application server instantiates it for each page request and looks for certain methods to call for certain events... But the CFC itself is not special.
Thinking that way for me helped clear up a lot of the "magic" that I thought was going on. ......................
