OK: I guess this is the Class::DBI background showing. My expectation
was that the 'foreign_keys' declaration would extend or annotate the
column declaration, rather than define additional methods.
I can't actually see why having distinct access to the column and the
relationship is useful, but I can see why my code has problems. :)

Well, if this were a production database rather than my playing with
Rose::DB::Object to see how well it works, I would probably avoid it.
As it is, I think I will just rename the columns and be done with it.
As I mentioned, I can't see why I would want to get the ID, rather than
the object, so having 'child' return the object makes the most sense to
me. (This is especially true for a many-to-many class like this, but
even for *-one or one-to-one, I think.)
Thanks for the response, though -- one of the things that has most
impressed my about the Rose stuff is your support of it. Thanks.
