Is the join table setup **exactly** the same as if you let Entity Modeler 
create it automatically for you via the relationship wizard? If it was, the 
join would be created automatically.

IMHO, Bad idea ..... probably will not work ....... one reason is EOF has no 
clue what PK was assigned by MySQL automatically in an autoincrement 
field...... probably more reasons too. If that worked, then why would we even 
need EO PK TABLE. EOF assigned PKs _before_ inserting a record in the database. 
MYSQL autoincrement assignment happens _after_ the query is received to insert 
a record in a table.
