Check out this post. http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2005/8/19/application.variables
It outlines some of the fundamentals and pitfalls. If you want to use a 'base' + extended application model, the application.cfc makes it make sense a little more. You can create your base somewhere and then "extend" it wherever you need it - overwriting the functions/variables that are needed for the application you are using. -Mark Mark A.

Say I have application.cfm on the root of the web site with an application name "foo". Then in a "user" folder I have an application.cfm page and it's application name is also "foo". How do they interact? Do they inherent each other's settings? What if I have a application.cfm page in a "login" folder and it's application name is "goo". Does it overwrite the root application.cfm???
