+1 It does sound like you're quite sure you're expecting to have many-children and many-parents - almost as if a self-referential has_as_belongs_to_many is what you're wanting - never tried it myself, but would give it a bash on a test application if that's what you're after. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
