Well for TreeBehaviour when I needed it instead of relying on CakePHP itself I went to the data level , I chose to use mongodb instead of MySQL, This made things a lot easier , and I used a plugin for CakePHP called cakephp-mongodb <https://github.com/ichikaway/cakephp-mongodb/tree/cake2.0> (https://github.com/ichikaway/cakephp-mongodb/tree/cake2.0) .
I also tried using Zend but that was way to complicated for my needs .
