This ought to work...
Get your data array sorted by model name, e.g.
['User']
['id']
['name']
['Product']
[0]
['id']
['name']
[1]
['id']
['name']
['Location']
.etc
Then name your form fields appropriately:
echo $this->Form->input('User.id');
echo $this->Form->input('User.name');
echo $this->Form->input('Product.0.id');
echo $this->Form->input('Product.0.name');
echo $this->Form->input('Product.1.id');
echo $this->Form->input('Product.1.name');
.etc
Then when the form is submitted your data array should be in a good shape. Then
save each model in turn:
$this->ThisModel->User->save($this->data['User']);
$this->ThisModel->User->saveAll($this->data['Product']);
etc.
