you can't use the same alias twice - the conventional way to do it -
if you aren't using the tree behavior of course - would be to use
Parent and/or child

var $hasMany = array('Parent' => ('className' => 'Querycategory'

I'd recommend using bake and then looking at what it gives you -
whilst bearing in mind if your db schema is unconventional it's going
to get confused just like you have. There's more general info in the
book around here: http://book.cakephp.org/view/78/Associations-Linking-Models-Together
