I've seen similar problems in my stuff.
My solution was as follows:
if I needed to refer to a query element from the outer loop, I would assign
it to a variable. Then whereever I needed it in the second loop, I would
refer to the variable.
A bit of a kludgy fix, but it worked, and I don't forsee any significant
performance hit as the recordsets I'm dealing with have relatively small
rowcounts on an underutilized server.
my two cents.

Subject: nested loops/queries
I'm having a weird problem doing a nested loop and a nested query. I
have two queries. The topmenu query returns ids 1,2,3 and 4. The
leftmenu query returns ids 5,6,7,8,9 for topmenu.id=1 and 14,15,16 for
topmenu.id=3. The queries are right and return the right data. For
some reason when I'm trying to output it, it messes up the topmenu.id
and thinks that it's 1 when it's supposed to be 3. Below is the code
and the output. Am I doing something wrong?
<cfquery name="topmenu" datasource="batu2">
select id
from categories
order by orderid
</cfquery>
<cfloop query="topmenu">
<cfoutput>#topmenu.id#::<br></cfoutput>
<cfquery name="leftmenu" datasource="batu2">
select id
from menu
where parent=#topmenu.id#
</cfquery>
<cfloop query="leftmenu">
<cfoutput>#topmenu.id#:#leftmenu.id#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</cfloop>
