Hello Chris:
There's also an :if option for the validates_associated class method:
":if - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the
validation should occur (e.g. :if => :allow_validation, or :if =>
Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }). The method, proc or string
should return or evaluate to a true or false value."

Cheers,
