Ok, thanks for analysis! Changed title and description as requested.

when you change in your example the return type from XML to for example String it works.
So the subject should be extended with "with "returntype" XML"

In CFML you cannot overload functions by define multiple functions with different signature, like you for example can in Java.
In CFML functions are object, like every variable, so declaring a function twice, simply means that the second function overwrite the second.

So it is as you would do this:
```
component {
this.test=function (){echo(123);};
this.test=function (){echo(456);};
}
```

We have a lot testcase using more than one remote function, but we will check the testcase...
