timblair / Safe cfinclude from within cached component functions
Created April 15, 2009 10:30
A hack-tastic way of safely including arbitrary templates in a function contained within a cached ColdFusion component
<cffunction name="myFunc">
<!--
What's going on here? Basically, any <cfinclude>d view files run within the scope
of this function, which means any variables used are effectively unscoped in terms

with nasty race conditions. By var-ing a new 'variables' scope it effectively
localises any variable usage (scoped or unscoped) within both the function call and
any included files. We also make a reference to the original (component) 'variables'
scope in to a new named 'scope' called 'global', so any calls to functions within
