Help with CreateObject()

Yes, it is called method chaining and can be used as a short cut. It is
often used as a defacto constructor since CF does not have the concept
of a constructor that one can pass arguments to. Developers create an
'init' method that returns an instance of the object created with the
arguments passed into that function.

It means that the cfc has a function called init that accepts arguments called dsn, pid, tempsecid, and docid. Another way to code this is:

Variable1 = createObject("component","#application.cfcroot#.system.loadFndSettings")

Variable2 = Variable1.init(dsn="#application.mainDSN#" pID="#attributes.pID#" tempSecID="#attributes.secID#"
DocID="#attributes.DocID#");

I'm not sure about the commas between the arguments, I rarely if ever use that syntax.
