Sounds pretty strange... though I had really weird issue with HostMySite.com as well.
Not sure if this will help but might give you ideas... The application application.cfc extending another application.cfc which is pretty plain sailing. Though the my application scope was not setup correctly - which was really weird. After doing a cfdump I noticed that I had an array of Application scopes of other applications. This sent alarm bells off in my head. So what was the issue? The path to the extending application.cfc used a string that was also a mapping (Unknown to me). So the app was including an application.cfc from some random application. The mapping to this other application didn't even comply with HostMySite.com rules for CF mappings which really annoyed me. In the end I got in contact with HostMySite.com and informed them about this. I ended up just changed the path to my extending application.cfc and the app was running smoothly. This just shows you that an app which appears to be self contained can end up screwed. So maybe apply some radical thinking/debugging. cfinclude is a pretty simply so for it to behave as you're describing something else is up. David Heacock wrote: > I've got the strangest problem...
