To determine which relationships in the triangles are true, let's analyze each option provided based on the given information and congruences.

1. **△ACF ≅ △ECF by HL (Hypotenuse-Leg)**:
- Both triangles share the leg CF.
- Since ∠BCD is a right angle, we can also use the fact that AC and EC are hypotenuses in the right triangles ACF and ECF.
- Thus, this relationship is true.

2. **ΔCBF ≅ ΔCDF by SSS (Side-Side-Side)**:
- In triangles CBF and CDF:
- BC ≅ CD (given).
- BF ≅ DF (given).
- CF is common to both triangles.
- Therefore, this triangle relationship is true.

3. **ΔBFA ≅ ΔDFE by SAS (Side-Angle-Side)**:
- In triangles BFA and DFE:
- AF ≅ FE (given).
- BF ≅ DF (given).
- ∠BFA and ∠DFE are corresponding angles given that they are opposite to the equal sides and share a common vertex at F.
- Therefore, this statement is true.

4. **ΔCFD ≅ ΔEFD by SSS**:
- In triangles CFD and EFD:
- CF is common.
- FD is equal to itself.
- However, without additional information, we can't confirm if CD and EF are congruent; both are not provided or deduced to be equal.
- Therefore, it is possible but not definitively true given the provided information.

5. **ΔCBE ≅ ΔCDA by HL**:
- This triangle would require a right angle and a pair of equal sides to prove. From the information given, we do not have sufficient evidence to assume these triangles are congruent.
- Therefore, this statement cannot be confirmed.

Based on the analysis, the three relationships that are true are:

1. △ACF ≅ △ECF by HL
2. ΔCBF ≅ ΔCDF by SSS
3. ΔBFA ≅ ΔDFE by SAS
