I suppose you're setting the scratch correctly:

[set lastproduct][item-code][/set]
[set mv_put_session]Yes[/set]

And then putting it into the session if it is to be used in another page.
Then, you could conditional as such:

[if scratch lastproduct]You were just looking at this: [scratch lastproduct]
[/if]

Or maybe something like this:

[if explicit]
[condition]
         $last = '[scratch lastproduct]';
         return 1 if $last eq "11-20";
         return 0;
[/condition]
You were just looking at 11-20, I think that you should buy this too..
[else]
Before you buy this product, take a look at 11-20
[/else]
[/if]

There is always MTOWTDI (more than one way to do it) -- scour that MANUAL 
and try every example until you find one that works.  :-)  If that fails, 
dig the mailing list.
