Phil, that's a good point, I had forgotten that I have the same problem with extending CFCs. Let's hope that one gets through!

Will your host set up a mapping for you? If so, you can set up the same mapping on your dev machine and then you don't have to worry about changing names.
Or you could set a variable in the application.cfm and use that to reference all your components.
Or you could put all your components in a package (aka in the same directory).
I actually use all these methods. Components are put in (non-web-accessible) directory, which is referenced using a CF mapping. Keep the mapping the same on dev and production.

I'd rather not use "any" as the type, as that defeats the purpose of typed arguments, but is there a way to specify "object" as the type? I wish I could name things properly (i.e. com.sitename,package.objname) but that would require more setup work for each site and a lot of changes for existing sites. For the most part, I set up my development sites as closely as I can to the production server, and I set an 'application.appHome' variable to use whenever instantiating a component in the body of a function or page, but that doesn't work for function arguments.
Any thoughts or suggestions as to the best way to handle this, admittedly minor, issue? :)
