Hi,

There is no built-in support at the moment to get more than one level of
indrection read in at once.
As far as I can see, you have 3 1/2 possibilities:

1a) read the values one after another. Assuming you have defined foreign
keys (I'm not sure whether they should defined in T1 and T2 or in T12, on
this depends whether the doSelectJoinXXX methods are generated in T1Peer
and T2Peer or in T12Peer), do T1Peer.doSelectJoinT12(). For each T1Entry
you get, fetch the corresponding T12 Entry (this is already read from the
database) and then do T12.getT2s() (this will access the database each time
you fetch a T2 Entry).

1b) do the same as in a1, but omit the T12.getT2s() step. Instead, get all
T2-Ids from all T12 you read in, do T2Peer.doSelect() with a criteria where
all needed T2Ids are selected, and do the linking of the T2 objects to the
T12's manually.

2) look at the template code for generating the doSelectJoinXXX methods and
extend them for two levels of indirection.

3) A time ago, someone proposed a class which can read a whole tree of
objects at once. It can be found in scarab (somewhere around TRQS260). It
is rather reflection-centric and I do not have an idea whether it works
with Torque 3.2, but maybe that is what you want.

Personally, I use a modified method 1b). I would read all T1 I want, gather
the collection of T1 ids to read the associated T12's and link them
manually to the T1's. Then I'd use the T2 ids from there to read the T2's,
and link them manually to the T12's. This is rather fast (one select per
level of indirection, no object is transferred twice) and quite easy to
implement. You might have to override the initCollXXX() methods for the
used collections to make them public.
