You can't do this with one find query, this is not a limitation of
CakePHP you simply can't do one database call that will find one
article and all pieces related or not.

$this->Piece->find('all'); or $this->Piece->find('list'); if
populating an array to then be used as options in a form.
@Giorgio: Why should the tables be linked by HABTM? How do you then
accurately save and work with the extra fields Ernesto wants in that
table?
HABTM is just a convenience wrapper for the associations Ernesto laid
out in his original post, as soon as you want to start doing extra
stuff with the join table it;s a good idea to modelise it.
