Erin,

you should look at the intersectsnodes function (if you are using Mapbasic).

this will return a polyline for two intersecting ellipses, the start and end points of 
which will define the coordinates of the two 'crossing points'. (use the objectinfo or 
objectgeography functions for finding these values from teh line)
