    oh ok i just noticed basically my application.cfm code is

    "<cfapplication>

    <cfset application.basePath= GetDirectoryFromPath(CGI.SCRIPT_NAME)>

    </cfapplication>"

    now in my include page I have

    "<cfinclude template="#application.basePath#master.cfm" />"

    and that is when I keep getting the error message element basepath is undefined in application

    Right before that line, cfdump your application scope to see if the variable is there.

    The problem might be that your application does not have a name.

    I did that I added a name to the application.cfm "<cfset this.name=testname>" and then put "<cfdump var="#application#">" before the include and the application name was there and I enabled robust debugging which said that the error is from the <include template="#application.basePath#master.cfm" /> is there any other method to include a relative link that might work..
