Having:

A = Product, B = Subcategory, C = Category, then

Product belongsTo Subcategory, Subcategory belongsTo Category = A
belongsTo B, B belongsTo C

Find all Products (A) where Category.name = fred (C)

// using containable

                $conditions = array('Category.name' => 'fred');
                $contain = array('Subcategory', 'Subcategory.Product');
                $categories = $this->Category->find('all', 
compact('conditions', 'contain'));


However it will not do a join, if a join is what you want you can
always make a raw query.
