Do cold fusion pages get search engine placement?

I'm new to cold fusion. I've been reading a couple of books. Following the layout ideas in one of those books I have developed a small cold fusion site. Nothing much to speak of and very basic. My homepage is a straight .html file (good for search engines). However, following the layout of the book, all of the rest of my pages are .cfm.

I use a "sitewrapper" which creates my header, left side, right side and footer automatically for each .cfm page. The content (which goes between the left and right) is .cfm files. All of the copy for each page is in the included files.

So my question is this: will search engines index the .cfm pages when they are "included" from another page? I don't really know how SEs work in that do they read the file in each page (.cfm or .html) or is it the "combined" output that the browser sees/outputs?

I would have to have to hardcode all of the individual pages in order to return a higher SE placement if that can be avoided. Each "section" has a separate header/footer based on what section the user is in.

Thank you in advance for any and all help/advice you can give. It is very much appreciated.
