If I have two models that are guaranteed to have a one-to-one correspondence, i.e. if one is created, I will always also need the other, and if one is deleted, I will also want to get rid of the other, what's the best way to tie them together?

Hi stackoverflow. I'm running into something strange. I'm using memcached with a caches_action setup. I'm doing this in 4 different controllers. In two of them, it works flawlessly (so far), though admittedly those two controllers are less complicated than the two in which it doesn't seem to work. I'm doing something like this: cac...
