I'm a fusebox developer of sorts, but as I've always said: I never stick to any of the fusebox versions in full. I like to call my version of the methodology "Extended Fusebox (Taz edition)"
Steve likes to call it "Tazbox Fusabix 2.999..." What it means is that I've taken a bunch of the core concepts of Fusebox 2, with a couple of decent ideas from 3, ignored 4 altogether, sauteed, and then boiled for 5 minutes whilst adding some seasoning in the form of my own ideas, then served with a side salad and a 24 pack of Guinness. It's a methodology, its maintainable and it has kept me in business for several years without bother. As for the original point of this thread, if I have a query that's used on every request it goes in qry_globals.cfm in the root of the site. If I have a query that 2 or more circuits use, I duplicate the file. I don't see a problem with this. It means that you can take a circuit and dump it in a new application without any bother, and although it's essentially duplication of code, it's not more work. You could argue that this means doubling the work (well, copying a file) if you come to change the query somewhere down the line, but I think it's not a bad thing. Presumably, if you're going to modify an application you're only likely to work on one circuit at a time. So if you have shared queries, you could be working on one circuit, change the query and break another circuit that's sharing the file. On the other hand... toast and marmite. Vile stuff! You have been warned.
