I've got an array of objects (which in turn each have an array of child

update a status property on each order. No problem there. What I'm
unsure of, and not able to test at the moment, is whether I can
encapsulate this entire loop process in a cftransaction tag and have it
roll back every database operation in every object if the process
experiences an exception somewhere down the line. i.e. I want the
process to be "all or nothing".

Yes, if you have the <cftransaction> tags around the whole loop:


        <cftransaction>
                <cfloop ... outer loop ...>
                        <cfloop ... inner loop ...>
                                ... update DB ...
                        </cfloop>
                </cfloop>
        </cftransaction>

(even if you process the loops by calling methods)

In summary I guess I'm asking whether cftransaction can span across
multiple objects. Maybe this is an obvious question but I'm unsure of
it's robustness.

Yes, in CFMX6.1 (but not in CFMX6.0).
