Three table related model in CakePHP

Question

I've got a CAkePHP 1.2 site. I've got three related Models/tables: A Comment has exactly one Touch, a Touch has exactly one Touchtype.

In each model, I have a belongs to, so I have Comments belongs to Touch, Touch belongs to Touchtype.

I'm trying to get a list of comments that includes information about the touch stored in the touchtype table.

$this->Comment->find(...)

I pass in a fields list to the find(). I can grab fields from Touch and Comment, but not TouchType. Does the model connection only go 1 level? I tried tweaking recursive, but that didn't help.

Answer 1

Duh. This was a simple matter of recursive.

Answer 2

yup. you might want to try increasing $this->Comment->recursive to 2
