The whole point is that the top level index.cfm should not need to know what
the lower level index.cfm actions are. So using a separator is a great idea.
What is still confusing is including the sub fusebox as opposed to
cfmoduling it or cflocating to it�s index.cfm
Are the nested fuseboxes independent - can they be called directly?
What about app_globals and app_locals how and where would they get included
in these cases?

Hal, why not just do this?
