> Is Mach_ii the closest form of ColdFusion to Object-Orientated? 

They're two separate things - Object Oriented development is a
paradigm, whereas Mach-II is a framework for building Object-Oriented
ColdFusion applicaiton.  Model-Glue is another such framework
(www.model-glue.com) that some people have said is easier to learn.

I won't pass judgement as I'm natually biased (having written model-glue).

Frameworks and OO are separate: If you have a well-written OO API for
your application, your choice in frameworks shouldn't matter that
greatly.

Possibly, but it'd be better to have a firm grip on OO before trying
to build a Mach-II application.  The Mach-II.info site's code is a
good example of application of OO concepts, so it is a good place to
go for learning.

For learning about OO in a familiar area, I'd check out MVC-style
Fusebox - if you starting building CFC based, MVC apps in Fusebox, you
can probably switch to Mach-II or Model-Glue with ease (or stay with
Fusebox!).
