My first thought is that when you include it from outside the main directory with the Application.cfc, it causes the code to run outside of the define "Application' and thus has no access to the shared memory. This is a prime example of why accession data outside of a component with code like #session.myShoppingCart# is considered a bad OOP practice. The best practice advice to to always pass the required data into the component as arguments, don't require the component to be aware of the environment outside of itself. There is a complex relationship between the name of an Application as defined by the "name: property of the <cfapplication...> tag OR the 'this.applicationName" property of an Application.cfc file. Any code that does not run under the same name does not share the same Application or Session memory states. When one starts using components, it is common to put them outside the web root where the code does not run under the defined application name and thus does not share the memory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
