I think I finally understand. When the associations are properly done, one can use the contains behaviour or recursive option in the find() function. The thing I still have a problem with, is that I need to filter all the results with a condition on model3. I tried using condition in the find function on model1, but it doesn't recognize the field in model3. I also tried a condition on the contains function, but even that only eliminates the records returned from model3 - not all the other ones...
Any help would be greatly appreciated (I hope the problem was clearly stated?), Dave.
