I need a system that associate users from one single table making them
friends. Until now, everything goes fine. The problem is when the user 1 is
friend of user 2, cake don't understand that user 2 is friend of user 1 too.

Is there a way to tell Cake to make a "reverse" query? Or I need to insert
two records in the table (user_id = 1, friend_id = 2 and user_id = 2,
friend_id = 1)?

I'll try to explain better:

I created tables: USERS and USERS_FRIENDS.

*USERS fields:*

- id, name

*USERS_FRIENDS fields:*

- id, user_id, friend_id

*user.php Model:*


    var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
        'Friend' => array(
            'className' => 'User',
            'joinTable' => 'users_friends',
            'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
            'associationForeignKey' => 'friend_id',
            'with' => 'UsersFriend',
            'unique' => false
        )
    );

*users_friend.php Model:*


    var $belongsTo = array(
        'Friend' => array(
            'className'    => 'Friend',
            'joinTable' => 'users',
            'foreignKey' => 'friend_id',
        ),
        'User' => array(
            'className'    => 'User',
            'joinTable' => 'users',
            'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
        )
    );

Sorry my english.

Thanks for help!
