I apologize if this is basic and I am just missing something in the django 
docs.  The Django ORM allows you to do a self reference through another 
table.  I understand everything about this process EXCEPT how Django 
determines which of the foreign keys to use for each side of the M2M 
relationship.

class MyUser(...):
    connections = models.ManyToManyField('self', through=Relationship, 
symmetrical=False)

class Relationship(...):
    follower = models.ForeignKey(MyUser)
    following = models.ForeignKey(MyUser)

So in the psuedocode example above how does Django ORM know which of the 2 
foreign key fields to connect to?  Does it just assume the first field is 
the one to use?  Thanks for any help on this.
