Coldfusion ORM many-to-many on same entity

Well, there is a new job, as of 08/01/2012 and new excitement. Also new problems to solve and code. Worked on creating ColdFusion 9 ORM settings for many-to-many relationship to the same entity. Here is a result:

	<cfscript>
	component output="false" persistent="true" table="Person" {
	property name="personid" column="personid" generator="identity" index="true" fieldtype="id" ormtype="int" insert="false" update="false";
	property type="timestamp" name="created" generated="insert";
	property name="name" ormtype="string";
	property
	name="guides"
	singularname="guide"
	fieldtype="many-to-many"
	CFC="Person"
	linktable="PersonToPerson"
	lazy="true"
	cascade="all"
	orderby="name"
	inverse="true";
	property
	name="followers"
	singularname="follower"
	fieldtype="many-to-many"
	CFC="Person"
	linktable="PersonToPerson"
	lazy="true"
	cascade="all"
	orderby="name";
	function init() {
	variables.followers = [];
	variables.guides = [];
	}
	public void function addGuide(required Person guide) {
	if (not hasguide(arguments.guide)) {
	// set this side
	arrayAppend(variables.guides,arguments.guide);
	// set the other side
	arrayAppend(arguments.guide.getFollowers(),this);
	}
	}
	public void function removeGuide(required Person guide) {
	if (hasguide(arguments.guide)) {
	// set this side
	var index = arrayFind(variables.guides,arguments.guide);
	if (index gt 0) {
	arrayDeleteAt(variables.guides,index);
	}
	// set the other side
	index = arrayFind(arguments.guide.getFollowers(),this);
	if (index gt 0) {
	arrayDeleteAt(arguments.guide.getFollowers(),index);
	}
	}
	}
	public void function addFollower(required Person follower) {
	arguments.follower.addGuide(this);
	}
	public void function removeFollower(required Person follower) {
	arguments.follower.removeGuide(this);
	}
	}
	</cfscript>

I used some of the code from Bob Silverbergs blog here. Thanks Bob.
