"I don't like editor XX" isn't a very valid argument for a specific coding
style.  It's worth mentioning that I don't use cfeclipse, I use DW.
CFEclipse has some really great features, but it's still not time to switch
yet.  So what do I do?  Make sure my objects are small and to the point, use
inheritance and composition where appropriate, and as a result, I've
generally got pretty small CFCs.

I did a quick survey of one of the applications I maintain.  It's currently
got about 140 CFCs in the back end, with an average length of about 170
lines, and the longest being 940.

I wasn't making a case that cfeclipse removes the need for CFINCLUDE in
CFCs.  I don't think there is a good reason to use CFINCLUDE in CFCs, but
there isn't a totally compelling reason not to.  I was using cfeclipse as
one potential example of the latter.  I think it's pretty obvious that
CFINCLUDE in CFCs is a bad idea, but that's just me, and as everyone knows,
I'm loud, obnoxious, and opinionated, and was trying to be fairly
reasonable, with clear reasons for agreeing with my viewpoint.

Cheers,
