In my experience you can't do that. There are two options; (1) do the search 
from the related model and contain the primary model - this works but the array 
is a bit twisted, or (2) construct your find using joins 
(http://book.cakephp.org/view/1047/Joining-tables). Option 2 will give you 
exactly what you want but it's a bit fiddly constructing it.

I'd love to see an option added to the Contain behaviour that uses an inner 
join rather than a left join, which would solve this.
