Using <cfinclude template=" ... "> and problems generating a SwiffChart within page!

Ok, for some reason (and I'm beyond newbie /w CF) I just cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I have web page in cf that is supposed to query a table and create a SwiffChart in Flash to then be displayed.

The problem - process_opinion_linechart.cfm - refuses to create the flash chart. ... It returns this message :

'http://www.fred.com/charts/0015720040827.swfhttp://www.fred.com/charts/0015720040827.swf 100100758573716361333055150157157157157'

BUT IF i run the process_opinion_linechart.cfm DIRECTLY ... (calling it via browser) ... then it runs just fine!
What the heck am I doing wrong!?


page - called <page_viewopinion.cfm>
---------------------------------------------

This page has some tables and general html crap ... for layout etc.
I have these two items:

<cfinclude template="process_opinion_linechart.cfm">
<cfinclude template="template_opiniontimeline.cfm">

and the page ends with other crap like a footer etc.


process_opinion_linechart.cfm
-----------------------------------

This code creates my SwiffChart flash chart file UNLESS it already exists.

This page is supposed to display the bloody swiff chart but never gets this far!!!!!!!!!!!
UNLESS the swiff chart alread EXISTS (has been created!) and this it displays it just fine.

What gives!? I just don't get what I'm doing wrong!
For some reason the <cfinclude template="process_opinion_linechart.cfm"> does not finish!

DRIVING ME NUTS!
Any ideas?
