No, that's not why it doesn't work. It doesn't work because aaa.bbb is an Array (or actually an AssociationProxy, but don't worry about that), not a Bbb object. Therefore it has no ccc method the way a Bbb object would. What you need is Aaa has_many :cccs, :through => :bbbs. No DB changes will be involved.
