The problem is caused by your (mis)understanding of the differences between
switches in a <cfscript> block and the <cfswitch> tag.  Cases in a
<cfswitch> block have an implicit break, making them exclusive whereas cases
within a switch in a <cfscript> block must have an explicit break added.
So, to fix up your code block, you'd add a "break;" as the last line of each
of your case statements:

<!--- Include UDF's --->
    <cfinclude template="../udf/include.cfc">
    <cfinclude template="../udf/cfparam.cfc">

<!--- Switch among various fuses --->
    <cfscript>
       cfparam ("fuseaction", "");
       switch(fuseaction) {
          case "about": {
             include("../pages/dsp_about.cfm");
             break;
          }
          case "contact": {
             include("../pages/dsp_contact.cfm");
             break;
          }
          default: {}
          break;
       }
    </cfscript>

Good luck,
