It was not entirely clear, nor is it now, though I think I get an idea what you mean. In the first post you said it was one to many, now it is many to many. Assuming many to many Person has_many book_associations has_many books through book_associations Book has_many book_associations has_many people through book_associations BookAssociation belongs_to person belongs_to book has_many somethings (I don't know what you want to call this) Something belongs_to BookAssociation Does that help?
