Yes, it's possible, with something like

class Person
  Grand = Struct.new(:name, ...)

  def grand_ds
    db[:person].
      join(:parent, :id=>:parent_id).
      join(:grand, :id=>:parent_id).
      select(:grand__name, ...)
  end

  def grand
    Grand.new(*grand_ds.first.map(Grand.members))
  end
end

But I don't see how it's better than just using a model for Grand.

Note that if you don't mind using john.grand[:name] instead of 
john.grand.name, you can eliminate the use of the Grand struct.

Thanks,
Jeremy
