If you mean you have a pre-existing project and want different
users within that project to have different priorities then no that
is incompatible with this scheme.  With functional share (which it
sounds like you are using) projects are compared to projects and users
to users independently.  Therefore if you already have projects with
multiple members and want to prioritise different users within a project
differently you would have to assign priority directly to users and that
means jobs in the cheap queue would affect the regular queues.

The scheme I suggested is based on the idea of each project (except
the cheap project) having a single member and therefore being able to
act as a proxy for that user when they are not requesting the cheap
project/queue.  This precludes using projects for grouping users in 
other ways.

If you are already using projects for something there may be a way
to adapt it but without details of how you currently use projects I can't 
really speculate how.  You might, depending on what you are doing with 
projects, be able to replace them with departments.
