Ok... so you've got one model that's got 5 rows of which none are common between the two types? I'm not sure why you'd want to shoehorn that in like that. I would guess you've got some other model you want to interchangeably relate to both types? Either polymorphic relationship or a named_scope to load multiple associations at once would work better if this is the case.
