I think this could work: class Task < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :worker belongs_to :manager end
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base end class Manager < Person has_many :tasks end class Worker < Person has_many :tasks end task = Task.create manager = Manager.create worker = Worker.create task.manager = manager task.worker = worker You don't need to create two tables, only to files more... extending the model that is related to the table.
