Not that i want to open that can of worms again, but i must admin that the last 2 years, on more then one occasion, i kind of missed things like interfaces and delegates in coldfusion.
I see the difficulties in implementing this and the efforts required largely outweight the marginal need for it, and i am not convince it should be natively supported IN the cfml language, but boy, sometimes i'd settle for some kind of container that registers all your cfc components and performs the necessary checkings on your classes (cfc code), richly extended with all these nice goodies.
