basically I've got a design which has a model describing, say a
folder, and within each folder I associate some notes.  I've built my
models so that a folder can have many notes, and that a note belongs
to a folder.  Now, a folder can belongs to a person, and a person
therefore has many folders.  what I'm attempting to do is display all
the folders for a given user, which is pretty simple as I can simply
so

folders = Person.find(1,:include=>[:folders])

however, what I also want to do is display the most recent note
against each folder.  Although I can do this by simply adding the
notes into my include,

folders = Person.find(1,:include=>[:folders=>:notes])

 I'd really perfer not to load each and every note assigned to each
and every folder.  I've been playing about for a while now trying to
get active record to load my assoicates but only include the first
note for each folder.  can anybody help?  maybe it's not even
possible?  Perhaps I need to change my approach?  Any help/advice
would be greatly appreciated/welcome.

thanks
