copied!<p>If I'm getting this right, you've got the following relationships (hopefully in your models):</p> <pre><code>TableA hasMany TableB. TableA hasMany TableC. TableB belongsTo TableA. TableC belongsTo TableA. TableC belongsTo TableD. (might be hasOne) TableD hasMany TableC. (might be hasOne) </code></pre> <p>If you're using the Containable behaviour (I very much recommend it, and set it at app_model level for all models to inherit), I think you can do something like this...</p> <pre><code>$this->TableA->find( 'all', array( 'contain' => array( 'TableB', 'TableC' => array( 'TableD' ) ), 'conditions' => array(...), 'order' => array(...) ) ); </code></pre> <p>If you need to pick specific fields, then you'll need to specify them in the contain parameter, for example here I restrict TableB's returned fields:</p> <pre><code>$this->TableA->find( 'all', array( 'contain' => array( 'TableB' => array( 'fields' => array( 'field_1', 'field_2' ), ), 'TableC' => array( 'TableD' ) ), 'conditions' => array(...), 'order' => array(...) ) ); </code></pre> <p>The returned data should be like so:</p> <pre><code> [0] => array( [TableA] => array( [id] => 12, [name] => 'Foo' ), [TableB] => array( [id] => 23, [table_a_id] => 12, [name] => 'Bah' ), [TableC] => array( [id] => 45, [table_a_id] => 12, [table_d_id] => 67, [name] => 'Woo', [TableD] => array( [0] => array( [id] => 67, [table_a_id] => 12, [name] => 'Wah' ) ) ) ) </code></pre> <p>However, I've never done this where the nested table is the parent of the container (TableD and TableC), so it might not work, but it's probably worth a try.</p>
