Hmm. You confuse me even more!
Is 'el debe ia come' wrong?

To me it sounds like:
 El ia come = she ate
 El debe come = she must eat
 El debe ia come = she must have eaten (verb 'come')
 El debe ia ave come = she must have had food (noun 'come')

It also sounds to me like:
 debe = verb
 ia = verb
 ave = verb
and not only 'ave'

Thanks,
