I like the idea, but this is what I get:
@answers = @company.surveys.survey_questions.survey_answers undefined method `survey_questions' for #<Class:0x203b590> I feel like the first call, @company.surveys is just returning an array and then I'm trying to call the survey_questions method on that array. Is there a way to modify that call to get the desired chaining?
