I searched all over for information regarding this type of thing, it's
not just this project that does it this way,
cfcommons.org for
example, they do the same thing. when i moved the imports inside the
component, it worked fine on Railo and ACF. I had a friend of mine
test it on ACF9 for me to make sure it works that way as well. Anyhow,
this is the code that's out there that people are writing,
unfortunately it's not cross platform.
