Is it possible to create a hierarchy of model classes? Cake doesn't seem too happy when I try.
What I mean is that I have a table, let's say "People". I've created two models which use this table, let's say "Man" and "Woman". The reason they're different is that they have different validation rules, business rules, controllers, etc. So far so good, but now I have a child object type, say a "Hat". A hat "belogsTo" a "Man" OR a "Woman" through a "person_id" foreign key. I assumed I could have the "Man" and "Woman" model classes extend a "Person" class, which would extend AppModel and define the belongsTo relationship. However this doesn't work. Is there an easy solution to this type of problem? I want to avoid separate "ManHat" and "WomanHat" models for obvious reasons. I also want to avoid separate tables for Men and Women since they really are the same thing. Any advice is appreciated.
