Reading through some old threads I had tucked away from CFCDev, I came across this interesting insight from Matt Liotta, that allows you to invoke CFCs using the TemplateProxy object. In english this means you can create a CFC instance using either a relative or absolute file path.
This will create an object using an absolute path to a CFC:
This will create an object using a relative path to a CFC (and should work with custom tag mappings):
I find it all interesting from the perspective of how CFMX does its thing. But I guess it would be a very useful trick if you found yourself on a restricted server where you couldn't reach the components you were after.

As a matter of curiosity, I tried to run this on CF MX 6.1. Doesn't work. Is it that this doesn't run on CF MX 6.1?

Like many hacks, there's no guarantee that they will survive version changes. This may well have been considered a security bug... I just don't know, sorry.
