Re: Associate by condition

Actually I don't really want to find by the type. I want to have them
all, but that cake internally will only apply that association if the
Model accomplishes the condition.
The point of this behaviour is for performance, because I know
beforehand that some of the retrieved Models will have the association
empty. So I just want a way that I can say, hei! not even try to
retrieve the data for these models, because you won't find anything,
just return the Association data array empty :)
