Im biased and was talking specifically re: CakePHP AR HBTM
implementation ...
http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/models
Your simple join would be as simple as:
class A extends AppModel { $var hasMany = array("B"); }
class B extends AppModel { $var belongsTo = array("A"); }
$a = $this->A->findById($id);
$a['B']['field'];
(provided you have a b_id in table A)
This would be the core idea you would have to wrap a CI library
around from what I can tell. But like I said Id too would be
interested to know if the facility already exists in CI.

Jon,
I was aware that the CI active record pattern is not the best
implementation and if we were to go with a true active record i would
roll my own and integrate it into CI in one way or another.
I am just not sure what the benefits are for this as I read
documentation i do not see how the joins are done for you as you put
it.
