This is mainly an analysis/design problem instead of a CakePHP
problem.

I'm not sure, but maybe your "Object" could be a base model
and make your other three types of your Object as subclasses
of it.

Or maybe, depending of your ER diagrams, you could implement
this as an ordinary relationship, depending that's is a full or
partial relationship (i.e., if is possible to have a Object of more
than on type or even a raw Object with no specific type).

Good luck.
