I've got the folowing models associated with each other
venture <--- component --> attribute --> service
'-->' means 'belongs to' in case someone wonders 
The thing is i want to show in the 'show' action for the venture components ordered by the service
like so @venture.services.each do |service| service.components.each do |component| = component.name = component.attribute.name
In the venture model I got how to have the attributes Venture (part) has_many :attributes_, :through=>:components, :source=>:attribute has_many :components,:dependent=>:destroy
Component belongs_to :attribute
So its easy but the problem is with getting the services the way i want to It's important for me to be able to do it in a simple way so I tried all sorts of combinations like
has_many :services, :through=>:attributes_
Any ideas on this one? Is it possible this way through has_many and belongs?
cheers
