I'd go with the second option except that you don't need the conditional
layout there, just set a flag of some type and then let the layout file
itself handle the additional layout.
example: the layout file itself might have
<cfparam name="showLogin" default="false" type="boolean">
<cfif showLogin>
<cfinclude template="dspShowLogin.cfm">
</cfif>
in an appropriate spot
and then Fusedoc it as a dependent file
