Can you use a query object in QOQ Query?

Question

Hi, I have a component with two functions. One does a query
and simply returns the query object (getItem), the other function
in this CFC needs to query this query object by using a QOQ.
However, it's choking on the part of the "FROM" in the getItemTitle
function. Am I calling the internal function incorrectly?
If I dump the results of the getItem function it returns the
query correctly. So the problem is definately with the QOQ query. I
have attached my CFC code.
Thanks,
Mikey.

Heya Dan,
Taking away the #'s doesn't solve it, cos it then throws an
error about the ()'s I also tried taking them out but no luck.
Here's my latest code, which STILL gives the same error. I'm
confused. Porbably missing something really simple here.
Thanks,
Mikey.

<cfreturn this />
