The component that contains the user's instance/stateful data should have no knowledge of ColdFusion scopes, session or otherwise. Just give it all the properties and methods that it needs to do its job. The session facade sits in the front of that component and deals with all the scoping issues, i.e. it is the only component that knows about ColdFusion's session scope. I believe the session facade can be safely cached in the application scope but it should be a stateless CFC without any instance data. Check out Sean's Mach-II development guide for a little more about session facades:
