This behaviour is by design. I was not around when this decision was made but the idea is that a "external" schema is references which has no knowledge of the referencing schema. > To illustrate, I have created a github project.

Maybe I am doing something wrong though!? This would be a different feature. Something like You can create a jira issue for it. Personally I regard this as a sueful feature so there is a good probability that it will be implemented for Torque 4.

It would help if my links actually hadn't been stripped :( Here they are: project on github: https://github.com/helgew/Torque-Schema-Test schema files: https://github.com/helgew/Torque-Schema-Test/tree/master/src/main/torque/schema generated base classes: https://github.com/helgew/Torque-Schema-Test/tree/master/target/generated-sources/torque/org/grajagan getTblLinkInts() in BaseTbl3: https://github.com/helgew/Torque-Schema-Test/blob/master/target/generated-sources/torque/org/grajagan/BaseTbl3.java#L168 cheers, h.
