I haven't seen too much discussion on this, so I'm hoping for some 
clarification/insight as to this topic.  If I've missed something, I 
apologize and would appreciate any pointers to any articles I missed.

Let's say I have a Survey entity, and within it are a series of 
SurveyQuestion entities in a 1-to-many relationship.  Now let's say that 
within the Survey entity I want to use @Query on a property to grab an 
ordered list of related SurveyQuestion objects.

Now, I'm fairly certain that SDN has no way of remembering my insertion 
order into the graph (nor should it, really), so I have a property on the 
Survey entity that denotes the order.  So, I can use a Cypher query from 
within @Query to get an ordered list of SurveyQuestion entities and return 
them as an Iterable or List, for example.

E.g. MATCH (s:Survey)-[:SURVEY_QUESTION]->(q:SurveyQuestion) WHERE id(s) = 
{self} RETURN q ORDER BY q.position

If I do that, though, I'm noticing that the objects that are returned are 
NOT hydrated, i.e. I have to "fetch" each one as I use them.  Is there an 
easy way to hydrate them all at once?  (I can't simply call fetch() on the 
property.)

Or, better yet, is there a best practice or preferred way of accomplishing 
what I'm after without breaking the bank in terms of overhead?

If I'm way off on anything here, I'd love to know as I get deeper still 
into SDN.

Thanks!
