I suspect there is something else going on specific to your setup.
I baked up a quick test app and had no problems at all. I didn't alias the
association at all.
My model names and associations were the same as yours.
$this->Operation->find('all', array(
'contain' => array(
'User',
'OperationType',
'OperationParticipant' => array('User')
)
);
Yielded this result:
array(
(int) 0 => array(
'Operation' => array(
'id' => '1',
'user_id' => '1',
'descr' => 'fooo',
'operation_type_id' => '1'
),
'User' => array(
'id' => '1',
'username' => 'aaa'
),
'OperationType' => array(
'id' => '1',
'descr' => 'Foo'
),
'OperationParticipant' => array(
(int) 0 => array(
'id' => '1',
'user_id' => '1',
'operation_id' => '1',
'User' => array(
'id' => '1',
'username' => 'aaa'
)
),
(int) 1 => array(
'id' => '2',
'user_id' => '2',
'operation_id' => '1',
'User' => array(
'id' => '2',
'username' => 'bbb'
)
)
)
)
)
I'm still thinking about this.
