Hello, I am trying to create a self reference so that a Node has
children and parents but the information is stored in an association
parent so that a Node can have more than one parent.

http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/04/mappers.html#advdatamapping_relation_selfreferential

Tables like this:

node_table = Table("node", model.metadata,
        Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),
        Column("title", String(255), nullable=False),
        Column("customer_id", Integer, ForeignKey('customer.id')),
        Column("content", String, default=''),
        Column("created", DateTime),
        Column("createdby_id", Integer, default=24),
        Column("username", String, default='')
    )
node_association_table = Table('nodelink', model.metadata,
            Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),
            Column('child_id', Integer, ForeignKey('node.id')),
            Column('parent_id', Integer, ForeignKey('node.id')),
    )

mapper(Node, node_table, properties={
    'children':relation(Node,
primaryjoin=(node_association_table.c.parent_id==Node.c.id)),
    'parents':relation(Node,
primaryjoin=(node_association_table.c.child_id==Node.c.id)),
})

I have tried several (many) variations on how to relate, and it seems
that no matter what it doesn't want the same type (Node) to be listed
twice?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  I also looked at the tree
examples, but they all only supported one parent.

Thanks
