If you want to specify model 2 fields in your fin's field or conditions arrays you need to force a join by changing the association from hasMany to hasOne using un/bindmodel otherwise find will run two queries fetching model1 first then running a separate query for model2 and combining the returned datasets.
However if you only want to limit what fields find returs for the hasMany relationship you can do this with containable by specifying a fields array for each model you include in your contains array.
