Yes, tricky indeed. Well, I would say that we could specify a list of
singles and a list of compositions to ignore at all levels if they are
come across. Perhaps we could also add a flag in the transfer config
for ignoring a particular composition or object during cascades? I
think cascading could be terribly powerful with a few alterations.

Did you get my stack overflow issue? I managed to get a workaround, so
I have Transfer running on Railo now flawlessly.
