I tried to implement your suggestions and it didn't work.
do I define the fuseaction in the circuits.cfm file? Is this
the syntax:
<cfset attributes.XFA.test = "test">
following from that would this work:
<cfinclude
template="../topStoryDisplay/index.cfm?fuseaction=#attributes.XFA.test#">
Problem is that when I look at the pattern of how the
requests are being set in the circuits file I don't think this is
as straightforward as what I've typed above, and my first attempt
to implement it did not work.
