Even with recursion, however, wouldn't one be able to use $this->Model- >unbindModel() to take away any unwanted, extra associations?
http://book.cakephp.org/view/86/Creating-and-Destroying-Associations-on-the-Fly It's all very likely that I didn't have correct associations earlier... so that Walther's containable way didn't work with the sample code. But the A, B, and C associations listed above were the same pattern as the full-name models. So I couldn't find out why containable wasn't including that third level (C) with the rest of the results. Thanks for the tip on containable...
