I just tried doing the first part (getting an autosuggest list based on the last item in a list) and it seems even that is not possible. ColdFusion doesn't trust that the array you return contains matches according to its simple search rule (beginning of the string = beginning of the match) and removes items from the autosuggest array that don't match the rule!
