See http://blog.adamcameron.me/2014/09/looking-at-phps-oop-from-cfmlers_10.html
Both PHP and Ruby (and no doubt various other languages) have a formal concept of mix-ins.
PHP does it with traits http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php; Ruby does it with modules: http://ruby-doc.com/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/tut_modules.html.
Having messed around with both, I find it a good technique for composing a class, and would alleviate a lot of the artificial dependency injection CFMLers need to do to effect similar results.
