doSelectJoinXXX() populates the fields for the current object and per-populates the XXX list for the related object so that getXXX() (in your case getForumtopics()) does not require further database access. It is not a join as in an SQL join where all columns exist with repeated data for the parent object, but rather an object equivalent whereby you have the parent object that includes a List containing the child objects. Does this make more sense? This is far easier than having to deal with a standard SQL join as you do not have to manually code for changes in parent objects.
