Hello, all,

Y'know.. in all the years that I've been coding in CFML, it never once occurred to me to ask the following question, but here it is..

If I have a page as such:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head><title>Unknown Comic</title></head>
  <cfinclude url="menu.cfm"/>
  blah blah blah - foo bar
  <cfinclude url="footer.cfm" />
</html>

Does the application.cfc trigger only once (for the document, itself)? Or does it trigger once for the document, then once for each include (total of three times for above example)?

V/r,

^_^

(Forgive the n00b question - it just never came to mind until now.)

Correct answer nic_tunney

URL attribute aside, the cfincludes pull the content "into" the existing .cfm page, so the appropriate Application.cfc methods would be called only once. This is still considered one request.
