This is done for you, if you're using expanded version of the $hasMany
member variable.
For example, your Group model might contain the following declaration:
var $hasMany = array(
'User' => array(
'classname' => 'User',
'conditions' => '',
'order' => '',
'dependent' => true,
'foreignKey' => 'company'),
);
You'll see that 'dependent' = true. This means that if the group is
deleted, the associated users will be deleted. I'm pretty sure that
this is false by default, so if you're using the single-line $hasMany
declaration, like this:
var $hasMany = array('User');
Then I don't think dependency (called 'cascades') is turned on. For me,
single-line declarations don't work (because I've not stuck to the Cake
naming conventions, like an idiot!) so this is how I implement all of
my hasXXX associations - the long-winded way.
