Perfect sense. I must have skimmed the Elixir docs too fast to notice that.
As a quick help, it might make sense on http://elixir.ematia.de/module-elixir.relationships.html to turn the phrase "the keyword arguments inherited from SQLAlchemy's relation function" into a link to http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/04/sqlalchemy_orm.html#docstrings_sqlalchemy.orm_modfunc_relation In addition, it might make sense to add a note like (sorry, I'm not an expert, so you may want to clean up the text): If the belongs_to() refers to the same table as a has_...(), the two tables will refer to each other, creating a circular reference. When you update objects on both tables in a single transaction, you will get a CircularDependencyError. To avoid this, create the belongs_to() with use_alter=True, post_update=True. All of this makes sense, but the tricky part as a new user is knowing which docs too look in. I started with Elixir and am learning SA as- needed.
