...but it's a bad solution, in my opinion. What you're talking about  
here is a method, or a set of methods, in the Customer class. It's  
not a change to the system-wide search and retrieval mechanisms. All  
you need to do is call $customer->orders instead of calling Orders-

That sounds like a red flag, to me. I don't know catalyst at all, but  
shouldn't you be changing your view here, not your model?
