I have being there :-/ ... what i do was:
1.- Pass your models definitions to models and packages on ``modules``
2.- In the modules put each table definition on a method, for example:
define_tables():
db = current.db
if not hasattr(db, 'some_table'):
db.define_table('some_table', ....)
3.- then whenever a some_other_table depends on some_table, in the
module corresponding to some_other_table you import the corresponding
define_tables of some_table and call it to ensure it get defined
before some_other_table references it.
4.- use conditional models, and in the conditional model of a given
controller you import and call only the one you need.
This way, the imports and define_tables ensure the table definitions
precedences and work out the needed for you.... the downside of
passing models definitions to modules is that u need to reload the
complete web2py instance... hence, if you are running it trough apache
it must be restarted for changes to refresh.
