It seems that if you define a mapper relationship through a backref, that relationship does not appear to be 'visible' when setting options on a query.
For example: mapper(Item, item_table, properties = {'reminder': relation(Reminder, backref='item')}) mapper(Reminder, reminder_table) If you then try to do the following: >>> query = session.query(Reminder).options(eagerload('item')) You get... AttributeError: 'Reminder' object has no attribute 'item' So even thought there is a backref, should the mapper for Reminder be: mapper(Reminder, reminder_table, properties = {'item':relation(Item)}) ?
