Is it considered good practice to use CFIF's in the default layout?
For example. on my edit profile page I need to include special javascript that isn't used on other pages.
Randy
Thanks!

In general I'd say, why not?

I would put a cfparam at the top defaulting to false then set that var in the specific controller action.

What I would do is make use of a really handy tag called cfhtmlhead.
In the action that you want the js file to be included on, I would just pull the call to the js file in the cfhtmlhead tag and cf will put it in the head for you. That will eliminate the conditional from being run on every request in your layout.

Hey Randy,
If you have a lot of javascript on your site it might be good to try
out the asset bundler plugin. You can compress and bundle all of your
js and css together to have a single download of all of the js for the
site. This is the preferred method for js/css since once it is
downloaded by the client the first time, it is cached and there will
be no performance penalty. I have been using the plugin for our
application and am able to compress over a 1.8MB of javascript (over
40 files) into 600k. This also allows me to keep my js / css neat and
organized into many smaller files and know that I will not have the
http performance penalty.

if i'm not mistaken, per added the head argument to both the
javaScriptIncludeTag and styleSheetLinkTag which does what you want.
this code is in edge though.

Nice. How does that work? Do you just pass it a value of `true`?
