I could not agree more. But the question is: is there a way around it ?
One way is to keep all CFCs in the same directory as a package. The first place CF looks to find a CFC is in the package. No relative pathing needed.
Cand you at least set mappings dynamically ? Can it be done or you're stuck with the admin ?
Sort of. You can hard code "MyMapping.object" in the extends attribute or when creating a component instance. And on any given CF server you can create a CF Mapping called "MyMapping" to point anywhere you want.
In my development, when components reference components they have been a part of a package so I don't have to worry about directory levels.
When code creates a component, it refers to a mapping directory.
Both are easily portable from one server to another.
