Hi,

I have 2 active records with has\_one/belongs\_to association between  
them.

class Story \< ActiveRecord::Base  
belongs\_to :conclusion  
end

class Conclusion \< ActiveRecord::Base  
has\_one :story  
end

Sometimes I fetch a conclusion with story in eager loading, sometimes  
I don’t fetch the associated story.

I want to know when the associated story is fetched or not  
conclusion.story.loaded? doesn’t work.

Another question : how to completely disable lazy loading ? In order  
to be able ton simply do : conclusion.story == nil.

Thanks for your answers.
