Franko, My guess is that in the execute method of your custom rule cfc, you have a <cfoutput></cfoutput> outputting your content. But the built-in containers do not do it this way.
Instead, do as the built-in containers do: Append the content you want to output into the request.aInvocations array like this: arrayAppend(request.aInvocations, someContent); ,where 'someContent' is a variable containing the text/html/whatever that your component wants to output. Here's a general idea of why it works this way: Farcry goes through the list of rules in your container calling the execute method on each, in the order they are listed in the container. At some later point in processing, Farcry goes through the request.aInvocations array and outputs each element, in order. The built-in rules put their output in request.aInvocations, but yours is just outputting when execute() is called, so the output of your rule ends up displaying first. A simple fix would be to wrap a <cfsavecontent variable="someContent"></cfsavecontent> around the content your rule outputs and then call arrayAppend() as mentioned earlier. I hope this is useful to you. I think it would have been useful to me, I had the same problem when I first got started with custom rules.
