The POEM solution does it by defining the relationships in the schema  - so that the 
code that is generated then has the ability to navigate those relationships.

For example, the POEM schema for your example would be; (I think this is the 
relationship you intended...)

table Member {
  String firstName;
  String lastName;
  Access access;
}

table Access {
  String role;
}

This would generate code that would have get/setAccess methods on a member object - 
so, given a member object, you could set its access and get its access and behind the 
scenes it gets the access object into memory.

For more info - see

or for other examples; http://vg.morefire.com/docs/persistence_poem.html

Obviously the business code of when to combine the 2 still needs to be written - but 
the persistence of the related items is automagic.

Hope this helps explain what I understand is trying to be achieved.
