columns participate in the SQL rendition of a query as they are used within the filter(), group_by(), order_by(), and other similar generative methods on Query. There is no additional step needed.
If the columns are owned by a table that is not currently participating in the query, the owning table is added automatically to the FROM clause of the rendered SQL. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that this new table is appropriately joined to the existing tables of the query, either through the usage of filter() to equate common columns together, or via the usage of join(). See the examples in http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/orm/tutorial.html?highlight=joins#querying-with-joins .
