Hey -
I wrote you a reasonable test application using your tables. So I
apologize, you werent mapping "secondary" to an association table, I
thought I saw that but it was an email formatting issue. You were
creating overlapping names to relations though, so the attached script
resolves that and illustrates some sample usage.
I also found a small bug in Query related to your extra
ForeignKeyConstraint (at least in 0.5) which you normally would not
come across, that will be fixed soon.
hope this helps.
- mike
