Yes, of course. Just as with any other behavior. If you plan to use it a lot you can put it in AppModel's $actsAs array. > And if you have a linking table (HABTM), would you have to specify > that model in the contain statement or can it be omitted (figured out > by Cake)? You have to specify all models for which you want data, and there must be a chain of association running through them. If you have User <-> Comment, and Comment <-> Tag, and you want a User's Tags, you must specify Comment in your contain array so that the behavior can work out how to get at Tag (and which ones to look for). Although it's not necessary to fetch the entire Comment, if you do provide a fields array for any of the contained models it should include the primary key and any relevant foreign keys.
