Where is the definition of the "Invalid Argument"? Is it just generic for "That
won't work"?

When I add the following url attribute code: "?fuseaction=test"
to change this:
<cfinclude template="../topStoryDisplay/index.cfm">

To this:
<cfinclude template="../topStoryDisplay/index.cfm?fuseaction=test">

the site goes from working to returning the error message: "Invalid Argument"

I've done this same kind of thing before I don't remember ever having problems
like this. I think it should be very simple

Hi,

Try defining your template url as a xfa entry in your circuit and then include that through <cfinclude> tag that will work.

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.

Since your request to include the tempate seems having a raw value after the
fuseaction variable as <cfinclude
template="../topStoryDisplay/index.cfm?fuseaction=#attributes.XFA.test#">

Try putting this <cfinclude> tag inside a <cfoutput> block.. That may work..

<cfinclude> does not accept querystring variables. there's really no need...
since you're just including the code into the current page, set a variable on
the page.

e.g.

<cfset fuseaction = "test" />
<cfinclude template="../topStory/Display/Index.cfm" />

you don't need to pass a value to the included template since you're pulling
the included template into your current page. just set the variable on the
current page.
