C'mon, you know you should never assume! If you actually take a look at 
the code in that customadmin.cfm file it shows that it includes the 
template in your application, from the customadmin directory (where this 
xml file is stored), and not farcry_core. Looking at the file structure 
in the How To, bsPhoto/list.cfm is found beneath the customadmin.xml 
file (<appName>/customAdmin/bsPhoto/list.cfm)

Now I should also point out that this is not the handler, this is just a 
listing page for you custom type. The handlers all belong under the type 
definition in your application, eg <appName>/packages/types/bsPhoto. 
Here you will often have an edit.cfm and display.cfm, but you also could 
just contain the handlers in the bsPhoto.cfc in the types directory, we 
just have a best practice of removing large chunks of code from the cfc 
into underlying pages, mainly for readability and maintenance reasons.
