more things, u have polymorhism, but u do not specify identity for 
Content; and things that look like many to one are one to many 
(type).

attached is the model as i understood it, expressed in dbcook; and the 
SA-setup generated by it (tables+mappers). see for yourself if u have 
anything else missing. i guess most verbose primary_join/remote_side 
etc are not needed but it does fill them always.
