Answer 1

This is actually a many-to-many relationship. A forum can have multiple topics. One topic can be associated with multiple forums.

Check out the many-to-many section in the Google App Engine documentation.

Answer 2

If you want a many-to-many relationship, @thethimble's suggestion is good. If you do want a many-to-one relationship, though, you could use a SelfReferenceProperty from forum to topic -- like any other ReferenceProperty, that, too, makes an implicit collection property on the referenced entity (the one, while the referencers are the many).
