You don't normally need to use joins or includes for such things. you can just say @list = @user.list then celebs = @list.celebs or just celebs = @user.list.celebs. You may have to test for the case where @user.list is nil if it is possible to have a user that has no list Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
