How to paginate a table with a condition from second association field

Hi

In my database i have the following associations:
Result hasMany Measurement
Measurement belongsTo Result
Result belongsTo Chip
Chip hasMany Result

I want to paginate something like the following query:
SELECT M.*
FROM measurements M, results R, chips C
WHERE C.some_field = $value

When I use "contain" to get the chip info its just fetch the info
about the chip but when i add a condition about one of the chip's
fields, cake doesn't recognize chips.
After digging a little bit, it seems(i'm not sure) that cake fetch the
info about the chip maually for every row in an initial query(M X R)
and than attach it to every row so its not doing all at once
I think that's the reason why cake doesn't recognize the condition
chips because the first Q doesn't involve chips at all)

Someone know what i'm talking about and maybe have a solution?

Thanks in advance
