I agree with Adam Terlson. But for other people's reference, I achieved this by setting up the second autocomplete on the autocompleteselect event of the first, and filtering the JSON array using jQueries grep function. Something like this:

$('.autoCompleteCategory').bind('autocompleteselect', function(event, ui) { 
    $('.autoCompleteItem').autocomplete({ source: $.grep(items, function(el, i) {return el.sector.toLowerCase() == ui.item.value.toLowerCase();})});
});
