Huh, I haven't given this proper thought. Yes, you're probably right. The
show-case is probably good for linear "graphs" only, not for graphs with
cartesian products in them. I guess that's where LLBLGen shines, as the
proprietary query extensions holds all the relevant meta-data to know how
to "untangle" the cartesian product between the >1 joined relationships.

Great! Should you play around with it any further (in the context of
databases / DTOs / etc), feel free to document your experience also here on
this user group.

Cheers
Lukas
