Problem with 3-tier delete.

When I try to delete a grandfather in a grandfather, father & son relationship as in the following, the grandfather and all the associated fathers are deleted, but the sons are left as orphans. It seems ROR can do a 2-tier cascading delete, but fails on a 3-tier cascading delete.

  create_table "galleries", :force => true do |t|     t.string "name"   end

  create_table "gallery_images", :force => true do |t|     t.integer "gallery_id"   end

  create_table "gallery_image_profiles", :force => true do |t|     t.integer "gallery_image_id"     t.integer "profile_id"   end

model gallery.rb class Gallery < ActiveRecord::Base     has_many :gallery_images, :dependent =>:delete_all end

model gallery_image.rb class GalleryImage < ActiveRecord::Base     belongs_to :gallery

    has_many :gallery_image_profiles, :dependent => :delete_all end

model gallery_image_profile.rb class GalleryImageProfile < ActiveRecord::Base     belongs_to :gallery_image     belongs_to :profile end

controller: galleries_controller.rb class GalleriesController < ApplicationController   def destroy     @gallery = Gallery.find(params[:id])     @gallery.destroy     redirect_to :action => 'list'   end end
