Hey everyone,

I'm I have a hasMany through (The Join Model) association on my 
application. I have 3 models in my application: students, courses and the 
join model: membership (used as a join model and also tracks grades). I'm 
trying to retrieve some information from the database, I want to get one 
course information along with all of it's students and their grades by 
calling: $this->Course->Membership->findAllByCourseId($id). In return I'm 
getting the following:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [Membership] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 12
                    [student_id] => 9
                    [course_id] => 3
                    [grade] => 100
                )
            [Student] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 9
                    [name] => Kyle
                    [created] => 2012-07-02 10:32:24
                    [modified] => 2012-07-02 12:44:37
                )
            [Course] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 3
                    [name] => Math
                    [created] => 2012-07-02 10:31:17
                    [modified] => 2012-07-02 10:31:17
                )
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [Membership] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 14
                    [student_id] => 10
                    [course_id] => 3
                    [grade] => 86
                )
            [Student] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 10
                    [name] => Butters
                    [created] => 2012-07-02 10:32:29
                    [modified] => 2012-07-02 12:44:41
                )
            [Course] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 3
                    [name] => Math
                    [created] => 2012-07-02 10:31:17
                    [modified] => 2012-07-02 10:31:17
                )
        )
)

As you can see, the course information is duplicated across the whole 
array. Because the course information is the same for all of them, it's 
just pointless and wastes resources.
So, is there a way to retrieve data like that, by a specific parameter 
having information duplicated across the entire array?

Also, is there a way to use a HABTM association that also saves information 
such as: grades or days attended?

Thanks!
