Associated data is
*) at the same level as the element, in case of the root element
*) included in the element, otherwise

That is inconsistent as far as I can see (or am I missing something?)

I was just using this as an example to demonstrate the inconsistency
with as little code as possible. It also applies to other nested
(non-tree) structures. For instance

class Parent extends AppModel
{
var $hasMany = array('Node');
}
class Node extends AppModel
{
var $hasMany = array('Child');
}

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Parent] => Array
(
[id] => 7
)

[Node] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 159
[parent_id] => 7
[Child] => Array
(
[...]

Parent and Node are at the same level.
Child is contained in Node.

But since the relationship between Parent and Node is the same as
between Node and Child I would expect the same for the data structure.

Thanks and regards,
