We did that on a search engine we developed once upon a time. We called
/search/dsp_search.cfm from /products/index.cfm. It was not pretty. Any
variables that dsp_search.cfm depended on were normally defined in
app_globals.cfm and more to the point in /search/app_locals.cfm. All these
variable defined and initialized had to be duplicated in
/products/app_locals.cfm.
After that maintenance nightmare, I do not recommend doing it that way. We
should have from the beginning set up the search circuit so that it could be
included or <cf_module>d as a whole.

That is a good idea, Dustin, and is something that I've tried in the past.
I'm not sure why it didn't work out though. Maybe because if you ever want
to include dsp files across multiple circuits, you get hosed.
Hey Hal or Jeff!
What happens if I want to include a dsp_ file from another circuit? Is that
legal? Things are all wacky-screwy if that happens, right?
