If you use the Security Component then the Form Helper will
automatically generate and manage hash fields to make sure that hidden
fields are not modified (amongst other things) (I've found it to cause
more problems than it solves, however - give it a go).
To be honest, I rarely make use of saveAll(), I generally override the
save() function in the model to save the associated models I need to.
This way I'm 100% in control of what happens and when. I'll probably
get used to saveAll() eventually though...
