CFC Methods and Code

Hello Community!

I was asked to create a CFC that will encapsulate together the methods that as of today my company has in 3 different files. Each one of these file is included in the main program as a template using cfinclude. When I opened the 3 files, I noticed that the first 150 lines of code were exactly the same. The only thing that changed in the 3 of them were the methods after those blocks of code.

Before I ask my question let me explain how I am laying out my code:

<cfcomponent displayname="" hint="">

code that was common in the 3 places
code that was common in the 3 places
code that was common in the 3 places
code that was common in the 3 places
code that was common in the 3 places

method 1
method 1 code
method 1 code
method 1 codd

method 2
method 2 code
method 2 code
method 2 code

method 3
method 3 code
method 3 code
method 3 code

<cfcomponent>

Ok, I want to know if everytime I call one of my methods the 'code that was common in the 3 places
' will get executed or if I have to put that code in another method that gets called everytime I call the others. I want an idea to complete this task. I have created CFCs before but this is the first time I face a situation where I have to make such decisions.

Thanks!

Ysais.
