Complex find

I have

class Debtortrans < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :debtortranstaxes, :foreign_key =>
‘debtortransid’, :class_name => ‘debtortranstaxes’
belongs_to :debtor, :foreign_key => ‘debtorno’

and

class Debtortranstaxes < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :debtortrans, :foreign_key => ‘debtortransid’

Now I want to find Debtortrans records but only those with specific
Debtortranstaxes values…

@debtor = Debtortrans.find(:all,
:conditions => [“trandate > ? and trandate < ? AND
debtortranstaxes.taxauthid = ?”, @per1, @per.lastdate_in_period, “24”],
:include => ‘debtortranstaxes’,
:select => ‘debtorno, trandate, transno, ovamount’)

but this gives me an error…
NameError: undefined local variable or method `debtortranstaxes’ for
#Class:0xb7a4e644

so I change the conditions to
:conditions => [“trandate > ? and trandate < ? AND taxauthid = ?”,
@per1, @per.lastdate_in_period, “24”],

and I get this error…
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Unknown column ‘taxauthid’
in ‘where clause’: SELECT debtorno, trandate, transno, ovamount FROM
debtortrans WHERE (trandate > ‘2009-04-30’ and trandate < ‘2009-05-31’
AND taxauthid = ‘24’)

obviously because taxauthid column is not in debtortrans table but in
the ‘has_many’ table of debtortranstaxes.

How do I get the search of debtortrans with only appropriate records in
debtortranstaxes table?

I got this to work…had to use ‘joins’ instead of ‘include’ - duh
