In a related thing to what barney does is decorating (composition) of CFC's and
drilling down into this extra CFC
in the init() of "myObject"
<cfset this.entityService = createObject("component", "entity.service")
/>
<cfreturn this />
that way I can get to the "decorating" CFC by
<cfset myObject.entityService.doSomething() />
but to be honest, I rarely need to do this...
