Mura CMS : You don't have to rely on Mura's $.static() method ... you can create your own reference to CFStatic.

muraCFStatic.cfm

<cfscript>
	// drop this in your eventHandler.cfc's onSiteRequestStart() method
	var themeAssetPath = arguments.$.siteConfig('themeAssetPath');
	arguments.$.cfStatic = new requirements.org.cfstatic.CfStatic(
		staticDirectory = ExpandPath('#themeAssetPath#')
		, outputDirectory = 'compiled'
		, staticURL = '#themeAssetPath#/'
		, minifyMode = 'package'
		, checkForUpdates = !arguments.$.siteConfig('cache')
	);
</cfscript>

<!--- then, wherever you want to render any includes files, you could use the following syntax --->
<cfoutput>
	#$.cfStatic.include('/css/yourpackage/').renderIncludes('css')#
</cfoutput>
