My preference is to provide a directory structure with common sense names. Although it seems like magic some times, I don't think it's necessary to keep the curtain up all the time. Seems like a pure personal preference issue to me since we build individual self contained circuits and can use relative URL's.

I am, however, interested in hearing the opinions of some of the more frequent posters, who are apparently taking the weekend off (lucky people).

Hi Steve, You're right I should have specified that I'm using the XFB approach which does hide the directory structure through CF'including.

As a note however, intelligent naming of those directories and the functions those directories provide is not covered in the Fusebox architecture as it is programmer/owner/project preference. My point was more geared towards, "should we consider" the naming of directories to be an important aspect of the usability we programmers are providing.

Granted, fusebox IS a methodology for developers ( covering the whole life cycle ) and the realm of usability resides outside fusebox per se, but if we can bring more usable websites to the clients AND get them done way ahead of schedule...that would be one more feather in the hat for what we are trying to do #request.yourOpinionHere#.
