Dear all,

Having three tables in a standard HABTM configuration:

Model "Article" HABTM model "Collection"
Model "Collection" HABTM model "Article"

Giving the tables "articles" -> "article_collections" ->
"collections".

My goal is to retrieve 4 of the articles which are related to the
collection named "featured".

I have tried retrieving the articles from the "Article" model and from
the "Collection" model point, but without success:

Issues:
1) From the "Article" model point, I specify conditions that the
collection is named "featured" and limit articles to 4, but CakePHP
creates SQL that places the "featured" condition together with the
"Article" model, not the "Collection" model.
2) From the "Collection" model point, I specify the same conditions,
but CakePHP puts the limit on the "Collection", not on the "Article",
thus having no influence on the number of articles.

Having now looked through several descriptions of HABTM here and other
sites, I have returned to you.

Are there a specific way to specify the conditions, so that either the
1) or the 2) issue can be solved?

Best wishes,
   John
