Check out inner joins and the CFOUTPUT GROUP= parameter.
Basically, you can write one query that retrieves all the data, then output
it using nested CFOUTPUTs with the GROUP= parameter. Here's an example that
has nothing to do with anything, is full of syntax/logic errors, and is
intended only to illustrate the concept :-)
<cfoutput group="category_id" query="mystuff">
<h3>#category_name#</h3>
<cfoutput group="subcategory_id">
<h4>#subcategory_name#</h4>
<cfoutput group="subsubcategory_id">
<h5>#subsubcategory_name#</h5>
<cfoutput>
#product_name#
</cfoutput>
</cfoutput>
</cfoutput>
</cfoutput>
This would result in something like
> category1
> subcategory
> subsubcategories
> product
> subsubcategories
> product
> subsubcategories
> product
> subcategory
> category2
> subcategory
> subsubcategories
> product
> subsubcategories
> product
> subsubcategories
> product
> subcategory
> category3
> subcategory
> subsubcategories
> product
> subsubcategories
> product
> subsubcategories
> product
> subcategory
