I'm pretty sure Cake doesn't support directly what Evan is looking for

handle (effectively) a 3-table join, without having to play around so

You could probably achieve the same effect with the recursive
parameter, but it
I don't yet have a wide knowledge of all the possibilities in Cake, but
I use an SQL VIEW to make multi-table joins easier. MySQL 5 supports
SQL VIEWs.
Creating the SQL VIEW is done in advance, from the MySQL command line
or from any admin utility such as eskuel or phpmyadmin. A working
