activemapper should support this pattern. we do have a test case for a self-referential relationship using one-to-many:
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/browser/sqlalchemy/trunk/test/ext/ activemapper.py#L223 a self-referential relationship with many-to-many should be similar, as its easily supported by SA itself. the only thing thats missing is the ability for the many_to_many function to figure out the separate "primary" and "secondary" joins on the table, which might require some extra arguments (such as, which column in the entity table is the "parent", and which is the "child" ?)
