Re: What relationships does a class have?

That is why I asked the question to begin with--I really like using the 
auto-discovery idea, and it seems to work.  It does quite well with 
simple has_many and has_a relationships.  It doesn't appear to do 
mapping for many-to-many tables, but I wouldn't expect it to.  However, 
the option of altering the schema in the database without touching code 
is too good to pass up, even if there is a bit of "fine-tuning" for the 
many-to-many and self-referencing (multiple times) tables.

Thanks to all who have answered my question.
