I suspect you're after
application.fapi.getContentObjects()<http://farcry.posterous.com/new-fapi-function-getcontentobjects>
.

To get the options for each select list:
<cfset qOptions =
application.fapi.getContentObjects(typename="relatedType",lProperties="objectid,title",orderby="title")
/>

If the related types are linked through an array property on the primary
record, you can quickly get results with this:
<cfset qResult =
application.fapi.getContentObjects(typename="primaryType",aRelated_all=lSelectedFilters,orderBy="title
asc") />
This will return the objectid's of all records which are related to every
selected filter objectid's.
