I would have to agree that while I do see the utility of having CFINCLUDE work this way in a CFC, it is completely counterintuitive to the way the rest of CF works!

Prior to CFCs, you could use a cfinclude anywhere you felt like and the results would be virtually the same as cutting and pasting the code. The example mentioned in this thread isn't the only place that breaks those semantics in CFCs. For example, it isn't possible to use an cfinclude for the entire function body i.e. you can't cfinclude cfarguments and cfreturn. What is the reason there? I suspect the culprit in both cases is actually the compiler approach. It kind of sucks CFML developers now have to concern them selves with compiler related behavior now when the language was always interpreted at runtime; cfimport being a prime example. -Matt ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
