Re: Containable with recursion?

You can use function find in your model using parameter 'threaded'.

For example if you want to get all children of United States (with id
= 1):
$locations = Location->find('threaded', array('condition' => array
('id' => $id)));

For further reference, look at http://book.cakephp.org/view/73/Retrieving-Your-Data#find-threaded-812
