, this becomes unusable, since you'd have tons of redundancies when retrieving the data, and you'd have to recursively iterate over 50 features. Any way to combine the queries into one, and subquery it to eliminate ones that don't have all the features requested in the query?

Thanks for the pointers. I've been designing databases for close to 15 years, and have been working with Rails for over 4 years. I've certainly used HABTM and has_many :through for many projects without issue. I already have the data constructed correctly, but I do appreciate the hand hol
