There is nothing wrong with your associations/relationships between the Invoice, Client and Country models. You just have to read up on the recursive attribute in the model, see: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1057/Model-Attributes#recursive-1063
That should give you a hint :) Next I suggest you study the Containable behavior, as that will make life easier for you in the future, with regard to finding related information. See: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1323/Containable Last I also suggest you conform to the CakePHP conventions, see: http://book.cakephp.org/view/901/CakePHP-Conventions Note specially the Model naming (hint: className => InvoicesRows)!
