Generic use case (I could think of)
db.define_table('parent',
Field('fname', 'string'),
Field('lname', 'string'),
format='%(fname)s %(lname)s'
)
db.define_table('child',
Field('fname', 'string'),
Field('lname', 'string'),
Field('parents', 'list:reference parent'),
format='%(fname)s %(lname)s'
)
So basically - child has two parents.
using "reference parent" can be used to point to only one of the parents.
list:reference allows you to point to multiple parents
