Glad to have helped.
Hopefully the info I gave along with the info to dynamically create mappings (someone else posted) was exactly what you needed.

Thanks, It's the first real answer I got so far. I must really suck at asking the right questions ;o)
I'll give it a go, but it still looks like I'm going to have to add the mapping "MyMapping" in the admin. Or am I missing something ?

- 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.
