Re: Multiple table1 FKs referring to single table2 PK

FINALLY, I've sorted through this mess and, once again, it comes back
to understanding the cakePHP conventions.

I had most of the linking relationships right, what was not working
was the choice of names for my foreign-key columns in the intermediate
table. I had columns in the 'mated' table named 'motherID' and
'fatherID' which both referenced the 'id' column in the 'clons' table.
These were being changed by Inflector::underscore and
Inflector::singularize in Model::__generateAssociation to 'mother_i_d'
and 'father_i_d'. Once I renamed these columns to 'mother_id' and
'father_id' in the database and all references to them in the mated
controller, model, and view files and the clons model it all performed
as expected.

If anybody cares, I can post the details of this particular example
for reference/discussion/whatever.
