Associating model aliases

Hi all,

probably a not so difficult question, but I am a newbie to CakePHP and
would really appreciate some advice.

I have coded something exactly following the situation described in
http://book.cakephp.org/view/851/Multiple-relations-to-the-same-model
that is: a User model, a Message model, Sender and Recipient aliases.
Everything works smoothly.

Then I have a Profile model one-to-one associated with User, here as
well following the Cookbook
http://book.cakephp.org/view/80/hasOne
<?php
class User extends AppModel {
var $name = 'User';
var $hasOne = 'Profile';
}
?>
and
http://book.cakephp.org/view/81/belongsTo
<?php
class Profile extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Profile';
var $belongsTo = 'User';
}
?>
Relationship working fine except for the following...

The problem I have is that $this->Message->find('all') in
MessagesController doesn't return the Profile data for the Sender and
the Recipient. They are aliases of User, so I can expect that maybe
some extra code is needed somewhere.

I tried to modify the Profile model into something like:
var $belongsTo = array(
'User',
'Sender' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
),
'Recipient'...
);

Doesn't work, half expected it, because it seems more important in
this case to declare that the Sender (Recipient) 'hasOne' Profile. But
where and how, not having a Sender (Recipient) model?

Thank you in advance,

Mario
