Just a quick note, I tried out your suggestion to pass in a select statement. That does indeed work. There is an issue though, I tried using the contains_eager('myproperty') as noted in the docs and that only worked in combination with eagerload('myproperty'). I think the reason is that in the docs, the mapper is defined with lazy=False. That was a little confusing, but perhaps it is supposed to be that way. I would have thought that contains_eager implies eagerload.
