Yeah, that's why I took the examples out of the Mach II Development Guide - people were following them religiously without really analyzing why. I was guilty of pushing OO heavily at first (within the CF world) because I've been doing it for over a dozen years now and it is pretty much second nature - so I thought I was trying to help. But I came to realize that folks were blindly following various recommendations without understanding them and therefore using them inappropriately. These days, I'm much more likely to try to offer *multiple* options rather than a single "best" option (my catchphrase seems to be "it depends") and I'm trying to get folks to approach problems as "get it working the work on getting it right" by refactoring code later on when they feel comfortable with it. Hence my comment "heck why not just <cfinclude> the file?" Quick and dirty but likely to get the job done in a way that folks understand. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
