Hi again,

I implemented a relationship using back_populates using the example
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/inheritance.html#relationships-with-concrete-inheritance

But I stumbled in a problem: My super class A does not have a table, it is 
based in a polymorphic union (thanks Michael for the great tip in my last 
post).

X<->A
A <-- L1
A<--L2 ...

XMapper = mapper(X, C_table, properties={
'resources': relationship(A,collection_class=set,*back_populates='action'*
)})

AMapper = mapper(A,pjoin,with_polymorphic=('*', 
pjoin),polymorphic_on=pjoin.c.type)

L1Mapper = mapper(L1,L1_table,inherits=AMapper,
                                 concrete=True, 
polymorphic_identity='l1',properties={
'action' : 
relationship(X,primaryjoin=(X_table.c.id==L1_table.c.id_idx),back_populates='resources'
 
) 
#... (L2 is pretty much the same)

This produces an error because my A mapper does not implement the *resources 
*relationship:
"sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError: Mapper 'Mapper|A|pjoin' has no 
property 'action'"
But If I remove the first *back_populates='action'*, it works. Well, for a 
read only collection...
My question is this: is there a way to make SQLAlchemy understand that 
class A is abstract and therefore does not implements the relationship?
Or is there another option , such as declaring action as a property? I 
tried that, but without much success.

By the way, in my experience (what I can recall), no other ORM tool 
automatically allows this kind of complex bidirectional behaviour with 
concrete inheritance ;)
that would be awesome.
