Re: Trouble with using a condition on a related model

Thanks for the replies guys.

It's kind of silly that it doesn't provide the associations for
hasMany by default when you would think so. What would be the most
logical reason for this?

Also, if I unbind an association at the Model level, I assume that all
further calls for the Model within Controllers would also be affected?
unlike unbinding in a Controller and having the binds restored on the
next call by default. The reason for this (I know I could use the
Bindable behavior) is if I created a method in a Model, it could
unbind any associations and return the result. However I am thinking
that the binds would have to be manually defined again, which is
obviously not very efficient...
