Prior to CFMX, CFML had no problems with includes because they happened as runtime.
Includes still happen at runtime.
I'd go on to say that if CFCs were implemented using the architecture of CF 5, we wouldn't even be having this discussion
I don't know. Given that CFMX maintains compatibility with CF5 as much as possible, I suspect it's implementation of cfinclude is very similar to that of CF5.
I believe that BlueDragon shows that be true since it has a similar architecture to CF 5.
An interesting comparison - CF5 was a C++ application that translated CFML to intermediate code and then interpreted it; CFMX is a Java application that translates CFML to Java bytecode and the underlying JVM executes both. BlueDragon is a Java application but I don't know whether it uses Java bytecode or a custom intermediate code - when I challenged that BlueDragon was an interpreted system, Vince led me to believe that it was closer to the compilation system of CFMX...
Take a random binary file and split it into two parts. Next create a CFM that includes the two separate parts in the correct order. Whitespace issues aside, the complete binary file will be served correctly.
Interesting. What about this example:
inner.cfm:
blah #blah# blahouter.cfm:
<cfoutput>
<cfinclude template="inner.cfm" />
</cfoutput>If cfinclude is really cut'n'paste, it'll give an error that the variable blah is undefined, right? No, it produces:
blah #blah# blah
And BlueDragon JX 3.0 and BlueDragon JX 6.1 Beta 2 both agree.
There's clearly more than cut'n'paste behavior going on and I think this thread proves that it's actually hard to document (and therefore hard to understand) exactly how cfinclude really does behave (because it involves dynamic relationships between scopes, amongst other things).
