Your controller isn't tied to usingjust one Model, the $uses array of the Controller can specify all the models you want: var $uses=array('Profiles','User'); then you can start all your queries from these models, no need to chain them as above. > how to access the specific data I want without doing 2 or 3 > levels of recursion on a find() for the user. There are various ways to tweak Cake queries, like setting the recursion level, or which tables to join for any particular query.
