what i do, is set 2 different app scope vars that hold path to cfc dir
(in your case that will be website's root) for localhost and remote
(production) site:
<cffunction name="onApplicationStart" output="no" returntype="boolean">
....
<!--- set server-specific app vars (LOCAL server and REMOTE server) --->
<!--- LOCAL SETTINGS --->
<cfif cgi.SERVER_NAME is "localhost">
<cfset application.cfcpath = 'path.to.my.cfcs.from.localhost.root.'>
....
<!--- REMOTE SETTINGS --->
<cfelseif findnocase('photos-of-laos.org', cgi.SERVER_NAME) gt 0>
<cfset application.cfcpath = 'path.to.cfcs.on.production.server.'>
...
</cfif>
....
</cffunction>
in your case the LOCAL cfcpath will be 'mywebsite2.' and remote path
will be just '.'
use it (invoke components. create objects extend components etc) as
#application.cfcpath#componentnamehere
