Re: retrieve related model data

I use this in my controller:
[controller code]
var $paginate = array(
'fields' => array('*'),
'recursive' => 2,
'limit' => 50,
'order' => array('Port.hardware_unit_id' => 'asc'),
'contain' => array(
'Port' =>
array('HardwareUnit'),'HardwareUnit','Vlan','PortEmploymentGroup')
);

....

function view()
{
$this->set('ports', $this->paginate('Port'));
}

I try to explain it again:
The table "ports" (class: Port) contains the field "uplink_id". This
is a self join from "uplink_id" as foreign-key to the primary key "id"
from table "ports".
Let's assume, a port has "id"=2 and the value from his "uplink_id" is
4. Then i need the HardwareUnit, which is associated with the port
with primary key "id" = 4.
If something is not understandable, simply ask again. My english is
not very well. :/

... and -cricket-, really thanks a lot for your help and patience.
