I believe that I asked Michael a similar question, in a different way,
a few days ago.

The answer was to use "contains_eager".  I used something like the
following and it worked great to query what the membership of a group
was at a specific time.  The two tables remain simple, related by a
group_id and the query is dynamic according to the time that you are
interested in

        map = mapper( Group,
                      group_table,
                      properties=dict( members=relation( Member,
backref='group' ) )
                      )

        statement = names.outerjoin(members).select(
            and_( Member.start <= reftime, Member.stop >= reftime
            ).apply_labels()

        query = session.query(Group).options( contains_eager
('members') )
        query = query.from_statement(statement)
