Short answer is, its difficult if you want to inherit the methods of the root folder Application.cfc. Coldfusion allows for one Application.cfc to extend another, but only if the inherited Application.cfc isnt in the root directory of the site or has a mapping in the CF Admin ( i.e. -you cant use extends=Application.cfc) or it throws an error, thinking its calling itself.
That said, you can either create a mapping, make your inherited Application.cfc part of a subdirectory so CF doesnt get confused or use inheritance from another component, along with the SUPER scope to do what you want to do.
