I think this is a key "best practice". It is something that I struggled with for a while, while trying to figure out why my application was so slow. It's logical to add both relationships, but once you understand what is happening, it is logical to leave the heavy relationship off and use a Fetch Specification instead.

Looks like the Best Practices portion of the Wiki would use a little work. I'll try to get to it later today...

I prefer not modeling the inverse relationship in these cases. The problem is that if the heavy side has already faulted, it will now just be out of sync, so if you DO have to get the results from it, it won't contain your recent update. So I usually don't model the heavy relationship and instead write the equivalent cover methods on the Java class that just fetch them with a fetch spec so they're always fresh.
