LUCEE_MAPPING_FIRST - Let's say you have the following code: `<cfinclude template="/foo/bar/index.cfm">` And you have the following mappings defined: `/foo/bar` and `/foo`. Then Lucee will look for `/index.cfm` in `/foo/bar` and for `/bar/index.cfm` in `/foo` and invoke the first `index.cfm` it finds, which could be in both mappings. If this setting is set to `true`, Lucee will only check `/foo/bar` for `index.cfm`
Type: boolean, Default: true
