You could use <cfobject>
or
<cfscript>
createObject("component","path.to.cfc");
</cfscript>
I prefer the <cfscript> method. It allows you to instantiate an object
without calling a method. It probably has more to do with the fact that I
prefer the write code in script blocks rather than <CF...> Tags.

Subject: [CFCDev] CFINVOKE vs. CFOBJECT -- which way and why?
I am curious about the code below ... is there a BETTER way to call this
with CFOBJECt and if so, why?
Once I build the struct "customer" I am going to stick it into a session
named customer.
I am using CFINVOKE This way:
<!--- CFM Template --->
<cfinvoke
component="customerController"
method="getCustomer"
returnvariable="customer">
<cfinvokeargument name="customerID" value="#checkCustomer.customerID#">
</cfinvoke>
<!--- customerController.cfc --->
<cfcomponent displayname="customer" hint="Controls all access to customer
information add, edit, delete."> <cffunction name="getCustomer"
output="false" returntype="struct" displayname="Selects Customer" hint="Gets
customer information and populates cthe customer structure.">
<cfquery datasource="qdc2" name="checkCustomer">
SELECT customerID, firstName, lastName, email, company, address1,
address2,
city, state, country, zip, dayPhone, evePhone, mailList
FROM customer
WHERE customerID = <cfqueryparam value="#arguments.customerID#"
cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER">
</cfquery>
<cfif checkCustomer.recordcount>
<cfset customer = StructNew()>
<cfset customer.customerID = checkCustomer.customerID>
<cfset customer.firstName = checkCustomer.firstName>
<cfset customer.lastName = checkCustomer.lastName>
<cfset customer.company = checkCustomer.company>
<cfset customer.email = checkCustomer.email>
<cfset customer.address1 = checkCustomer.address1>
<cfset customer.address2 = checkCustomer.address2>
<cfset customer.city = checkCustomer.city>
<cfset customer.state = checkCustomer.state>
<cfset customer.zip = checkCustomer.zip>
<cfset customer.country = checkCustomer.country>
<cfset customer.dayPhone = checkCustomer.dayPhone>
<cfset customer.evePhone = checkCustomer.evePhone>
<cfset customer.mailList = checkCustomer.mailList>
<!--- Insert Shipping Information --->
<cfset customer.shipFirstName = "">
<cfset customer.shipLastName = "">
<cfset customer.shipCompany = "">
<cfset customer.shipAddress1 = "">
<cfset customer.shipAddress2 = "">
<cfset customer.shipCity = "">
<cfset customer.shipState = "">
<cfset customer.shipZip = "">
<cfset customer.shipCountry = "">
<cfset customer.shipDayPhone = "">
<cfelse>
<!--- Do something else --->
</cfif>
<cfreturn customer>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
