I don't know about And, but it's only a little bit
better, I think.

I ran a quick search on Google and was able to get
things like:

- Yes you do have a great teacher." he hugged her
   and her him as they talked when his cell phone
   rung and he grabbed it still holding on to her
   hand "Hello"

- He had told her that he loved her, and her him,
   but it was just too hard. She lived here in
   Russia and he in America.

- He watched her and her him.

- The students here at LES were so very lucky to have her,
   and her them.

And I finally stumbled across:

-  She thought about them, her friends, and him, her
    false love.

Which is not entirely reciprocal. Maybe for me and
And it works like this:

If the complement of the gapped conjunct refers
anaphorically to the subject of the initial conjunct,
then the gapped conjunct may contain an accusative
subject.
