As long as the form elements are named using the cake conventions i.e.
name="data[ModelName][fieldName]" (best acheived by using the
FormHelper functions) there should be no difference between single and
multi-model forms.
The only difference is when you need to validate both models before
saving either. In the controller you need to call $this->ModelOne-
>validates() and $this->ModelTwo->validates() before calling the save
functions.
Also you will need to add $uses = array('ModelOne', 'ModelTwo') to
your controller to be able to access both models properly.
