Hi Will and Ayende - thanks for the replies.  :-)

I know there are Select N+1 going on here. The main cause of all
theses selects is that I have three different classes that constitutes
a tree with three levels: Level1 -> Level2 -> Level3.

I have 20 rows at Level1, 40 rows at Level2 and 300 rows at Level3.
Each level has a list of the next level - mapped as a bag in the .hbm
files. Level2 and Level3 each have a list of objects pointing back to
themselves. Moreover the lowest level (Level3) has two many-to-many
collections to a fourth class (table). In fact it is this lowest level
that is causing most of the selects.

As far as I understand I can only put fetch="join" on one property on
a mapped class and with all these references on Level2 and Level3 it
seems to me that its usability is limited in my scenario.

The workaround I have been thinking of is to create a class for all
ten tables, many-to-many tables included, and then simply do ten
LoadAll(). I would then build object graph manually instead of having
NHibernate do it.

Is that what you guys would do in a similar situation?

Regards
Thomas
