In their simplest form, cfincludes do not need to fully explain the path to a file. Relative paths are often sufficient. Or is the code which makes up your app going to be moving around a lot?

cfincludes are often used to combine sections of reusable code (typically in a fixed location) to form a complete cf template & process.

If the logic you're "including" seems to be hard to pin down in a single place of your app, then perhaps what you're dealing with - is really a cffunction, and not a reusable snippet after all?

Finally, I would frequently confuse the meaning of cfinclude with that of cflocation during my earlier coding years. Cfincludes use relative system paths (internal), whereas cflocations use web-based paths (external) - which frequently use a "web root" variable - because those may change as your app moves from dev to testing to production.
