ok Im attaching the 3 tables as images and I am attaching a crude example I put together in photoshop (however because of the featured table it will allow me to control in which order the products and feedback are displayed for each individual page).

plus i am copying the current code to display the actual repeat region to give it context.

php:
<?php

  
if ("".$row_rsFeatured['FeaturedType']  ."" == "1") {  // WebAssist Show If
?>
        <div class="feature-heading">Featured Product</div>
        <?php do { ?>
          <p class="feature-name"><?php echo $row_rsFeatured['ProductName']; ?></p>
          <div class="clearfix"></div>
          <p class="feature-price">From only £<?php echo $row_rsFeatured['ProductPrice']; ?></p>
          <p class="feature-image"><a href="../product.php?Product=<?php echo $row_rsFeatured['ProductLink']; ?>"><img  src="../images/products/large/<?php echo $row_rsFeatured['ProductImage']; ?>" width="250" alt="<?php echo $row_rsFeatured['ProductImageTitle']; ?>"/></a></p>
          <?php } while ($row_rsFeatured mysql_fetch_assoc($rsFeatured)); ?>
        <?php
  
// ("".$row_rsFeatured['FeaturedType']  ."" == "1")
?>
      <div class="clearfix"></div>
      
      <?php
  
if ("".$row_rsFeatured['FeaturedType']  ."" == "2") {  // WebAssist Show If
?>
  <div class="feedback-heading">What our Customers say!</div>
  <p class="feedback-other"><a href="../what-our-customers-say.php">Read other Customer Reviews</a></p>
       <?php do { ?>
          <div class="clearfix"></div>
          <p class="feedback-quote"><?php echo $row_rsFeatured['FeedbackText']; ?></p>
          <p class="feedback-name"><strong><?php echo $row_rsFeatured['FeedbackSalutation']; ?> <?php echo $row_rsFeatured['FeedbackFirstName']; ?> <?php echo $row_rsFeatured['FeedbackLastName']; ?> | <?php echo $row_rsFeatured['FeedbackLocation']; ?></strong></p>
          <p class="feedback-date"><?php echo date('jS M Y',strtotime($row_rsFeatured['FeedbackDate'])); ?></p>
         <?php } while ($row_rsFeatured mysql_fetch_assoc($row_rsFeatured)); ?>
        <?php
  
// ("".$row_rsFeatured['FeaturedType']  ."" == "2")
?>




and obviously to determine the page i am using

php:
$basefile = basename ( $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] );


WHERE FeaturedLocale = '$basefile'



the basefile is stored in the featured table under FeaturedLocale

the ProductID OR FeedbackID is stored in the featured.FeaturedTypeID table.
AND FeaturedType 1 means a product and FeaturedType 2 means feedback
(currently im not using FeaturedPosition as of yet (but in the future this will allow the client to reposition content)
