Hi, 
I have two different apps that contain classes of the same name, and using 
a related name in a GenericRelation doesn't seem to be helping. Here are 
the details:

In both of the apps I have "Source" and "Variable." They're not the same 
for either app, so I can't just create one. These apps are called "hs_core" 
and "ref_ts." In both apps I have a class called 
"<app_name(CamelCase)>Metadata" that has a GenericRelation to both of the 
Source and Variable classes. So I added a related_name in order to 
differentiate between the two in the database. It didn't seem to have any 
effect at all. Here are some snippets of the code (I can add more if you 
need):

In ref_ts:
class Source(AbstractMetaDataElement):
    term = 'Source'
    derived_from = models.CharField(max_length=300)
    organization = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True)
    source_description = models.CharField(max_length=400, null=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.derived_from

    @classmethod
    def create(cls, **kwargs):
        if 'derived_from' in kwargs:
            # check the source doesn't already exists - source needs to be 
unique per resource
            if 'metadata_obj' in kwargs:
                metadata_obj = kwargs['metadata_obj']
                metadata_type = 
ContentType.objects.get_for_model(metadata_obj)
                src = Source.objects.filter(derived_from= 
kwargs['derived_from'], object_id=metadata_obj.id, 
content_type=metadata_type).first()
                if src:
                    raise ValidationError('Source:%s already exists for 
this resource.' % kwargs['derived_from'])
                src = 
Source.objects.create(derived_from=kwargs['derived_from'], 
organization=kwargs.get('organization'),source_description=kwargs.get('source_description'),
 
content_object=metadata_obj)
                return src
            else:
                raise ValidationError('Metadata instance for which source 
element to be created is missing.')
        else:
            raise ValidationError("Source data is missing.")

    @classmethod
    def update(cls, element_id, **kwargs):
        src = Source.objects.get(id=element_id)
        if src:
            if 'derived_from' in kwargs:
                src.derived_from = kwargs['derived_from']
            if 'organization' in kwargs:
                src.organization = kwargs['organization']
            if 'source_description' in kwargs:
                src.source_description = kwargs['source_description']
            src.save()
        else:
            raise ObjectDoesNotExist("No source element was found for the 
provided id:%s" % element_id)

    @classmethod
    def remove(cls, element_id):
        src = Source.objects.get(id=element_id)
        if src:
            src.delete()
        else:
            raise ObjectDoesNotExist("No source element was found for 
id:%d." % element_id)

class RefTSMetadata(CoreMetaData):
...
    variables = generic.GenericRelation(Ref_TS_Variable, 
related_name='ref_ts_variables')
    sources = generic.GenericRelation(Ref_TS_Source, 
related_name='ref_ts_sources')
...

    @classmethod
    def get_supported_element_names(cls):
        # get the names of all core metadata elements
        elements = super(RefTSMetadata, cls).get_supported_element_names()
        # add the name of any additional element to the list
        elements.append('Method')
        elements.append('QualityControlLevel')
        elements.append('Variable')
        elements.append('Site')
        return elements

    @property
    def resource(self):
        return self._refts_resource.all().first()

    def get_xml(self):
