is there anything wrong with having the common methods as CFC's that are wound up with the CFC that you're working with? decorate it with additional functionality?
if you don't want to wind up a new helper instance within the CFC, how about passing in a reference to the common methods CFC's in the init of the CFC that you're working with? Perhaps it's just a reference to a application-scoped singleton which itself is decorated with functionality? the only time I've warmed to the idea of cfinclud-ing within a CFC is pulling in descrete SQL within methods, and even then gnarly micro-logic can make that really messy (looking for null arguments and conditional processing - if "" then query other field). yet to be convinced using cfinclude's within a cfc is worth the hassle....
