This is my experience as well...
if one sets variables as:
<cfset request.cfroot = "/myapp">
*without* also creating a CFAS mapping to the root directory of the
application as "/" (or some other thing like "/myapp"), then statements
like:
<cfinclude template="#request.cfroot#/blocks/dsp_showit.cfm">
kick back such gems as:
"Detail: The logical path you have specified (/myapp/blocks/dsp_showit.cfm)
could not be resolved to an actual filename because you have not specified a
root template directory."
One is then forced to either *make* the mapping or resort to relative
mappings, a la "../myapp/blocks/dsp_showit.cfm"...
I, personally, don't see how it can work otherwise.
my dos centavos,

~~ Please let me know if I have this right or not:
~~
~~ The CFAS Administrator mappings are specifically for CFMODULE
~~ and CFINCLUDE.
~~ They allow you to specify where templates are located by starting at the
~~ "root" of the application, using "/". Without these mappings,
~~ you must use
~~ relative pathing and perhaps some twisted variable assignments like
~~ "someroot = "../../../" in order to call template using those tags.
~~
~~ Therefore, even though you have specified "request.cfroot" to by
~~ "/myapp",
~~ this is not the equivalent of mappings. Without a CFAS Admin
~~ mapping, this
~~ may very well point to the directory named "myapp" UNDER
~~ whatever CFAS Admin
~~ "thinks" is your root. This may be different depending on how your host
~~ sets up the servers.
~~
~~ Comments and non-derogatories?

~~ Chris,
~~
~~ No you don't need access to the development mappings in the CFAS
~~ administrator. I believe if you look closer you'll see that they were
~~ talking about using variable mapping.
~~
~~ i.e
~~
~~ <cfset request.cfroot = "/myapp">
~~ <cfset request.webroot = "/">
~~ <cfset request.imgroot = "/images/">
~~
~~ or whatever you need them to be.
~~
~~ <cfinclude
~~ template="#request.cfroot#/actions/act_MySuperDuperStudlyActionFile.cfm">
~~
~~ I'm sure you get the idea. They're there to save typing, and
~~ make migrating
~~ from dev boxes to production boxes a little easier.
~~ Typically they'd go in an app_Server.cfm where each box gets its own
~~ proprietary app_server.cfm file.
