Tom, I also did a little experiment to see the order in which each object is inserted by the store method. However the only one that appeared to be inserted was my report object which is the parent of scientist and IOS objects. I was hoping I could at least try putting the current scid value into the scid field of IOS. However IOS inserted but I had no relative idea when it was inserted due to the inability to get the "firing sequence" of the inserts. I don't like to work around the whole idea of ORM but since I cannot change our database I was hoping for a workaround.

My guess is that your problem stems from the fact that you use primary key fields for your foreign key fields which often leads to problems. In general you should not do that - if you change the reference to another object, then the identity of your object will change as well which is most certainly not what you want. Rather use seperate non-PK fields for the references. Or if the Report and Scientist classes link back to the IOS class (bi-directional link), then use collections instead in the IOS class.
