It's doing it because with the same name the multi dimensional array
of hasMany Addresses is being added to/merged with the result of your
belongsTo Address.
Change the name of one of those aliases (e.g. 'Address' change to
'DefaultAddress').

Re: Am I trying to do the impossible (or impractical)?
As I said in my first post: just remember to name the associations
different names ...
I prefer this method over Rhee's suggestion with a bool for the
default address in the database... I think it looks nicer and feel
more OO :)

Re: Am I trying to do the impossible (or impractical)?
Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but have changed the name (seems obvious now!!) of the second association to DefaultAddress and that works so it will be staying as is for now. No doubt it will all change before too long and will try the other way.

I am still using scaffolding while I get the structure of the site
sorted, when you view a customers record it will give a link to the
default address which is perfect, but where it lists the related
addresses it shows lists of letters. The letters are the first letter
of each field in the default address. confused? Look here:
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p91/frenchescapes/CakePHP-therapiddevelopmentphpframe.png
. The bottom two records are the addresses that are meant to be linked
to the customer.
Although this is not a problem because eventually I will not be using
scaffolding, just a little confused as to why it is doing it!

Re: Am I trying to do the impossible (or impractical)?
I think your setup is not impractical, in fact it's a very common type
of relationships, for example:
User hasMany Address, and there is one Address that is used as
default
Theme hasMany Layout, and there is one Layout that is set as current
etc.
Using array as Christopher suggested is a solution I often use, but
specifying an additional association as J.B. described seems to be a
better solution.
However, the association should be 'belongsTo' instead of
'hasOne' (not sure if J.B. has tested)
The reason is default_address_id' is foreign_key in customers table,
and it corresponds to address_id on addresses table.
in the Customer model, try
$belongsTo = array(
'Address' = array('className' = 'Address',
'foreignKey' =
'default_address_id',
),
);
in the controller, try:
$this-Customer-findAll(array(id='123456'))
and you will see the default address followed by an array of addresses
(including the default address as well !)

Re: Am I trying to do the impossible (or impractical)?
zonium: yes, you're absolutely right. and I haven't tested it...
Remember to put two associations in the address model as well, address
hasOne (or hasMany, depending on what you want) customer
(default_address_id) and address belongsTo customer...

Re: Am I trying to do the impossible (or impractical)?
I would put a bool flag in addresses table. Something like
`defaultAddress` as bool, where set to true when default and false on
the other case.
Then you could put WHERE statement into your find function.

Re: Am I trying to do the impossible (or impractical)?
Well, if you already have the default_address_id field in the table, you can just do some array magic to pull out the one with that Id or, you can make another call once you have the user array (for a single user). Your best bet is to use the array magic goodness with sprinkles and pluck out what you need.
