I'm having to do a find('all') with recursive = 2 to get at the data I

pulls in a bunch of unneeded data, creating a monster array which is
stretching the memory limits.

Is there some syntax (perhaps involving 'fields') that will either
allow me to select only the associations I need for this particular
array, or to leave out the association I don't need.   I'm asssuming
it would not be considered best practices to start messing with my
model files just to get a smaller array in this one situation.

Thanks
