Try this:
lists:
id, name, owner
list_rows:
id, list_id, name
/app/models/list.php:
class List extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'List';
var $hasMany = array('ListRow' => array('className'=>'ListRow'));
}
/app/models/list_row.php:
class ListRow extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'ListRow';
var $belongsTo = array('List' => array('className'=>'List'));
}
If in a controller, you do $this->List->findAll() or $this->ListRow-

counterpart.
