I often find that I have more than one column in a tale that is an integer ID used to join to a lookup table. If there is only one Join to do it is to do something like this....

SELECT t.data, l.group
FROM table t JOIN lookuptable l USING (groupID)
WHERE whatever

however if I need to join more than one that syntax wont work because the second join will be trying to join to the first lookup table no the main table. Is there a way around this or do I need to just do joins using this syntax....
SELECT x, y, z
FROM table t, lookupA la, lookupB lb
WHERE t.aID = a.aID AND t.bID = b.bID
