The whole operation smells like a somewhat premature operation, unless
either Item or ItemType has a whole bunch of fields you didn't
mention. Why not just let AR work the way it does?
Item.find(:all, :include => :item_type, :conditions =>
{ :'item_types.name' => %w(Material Weapon Armor Accessory) })
(that last bit changes the chain of 'OR's above into an IN statement,
which is a cheap optimization, and easier to change later...)
