Hello All,

Quick find question for you, I have a comments, users and a friends  
table.

The user model has\_many :friends, :through =\> :friendships

How can I include the friends comments in a find? (I know the below does  
not work, it just pulls up the @user’s comments) but if i substitute in  
([@user, 4, … It works fine pulling in the @user.id’s comments and the  
user who’s ID is 4 in as well.

@comments = Comment.find\_all\_by\_user\_id([@user, @user.friends],  
:include =\>  
[:user,:method\_type],  
:order =\> “comments.id DESC”,  
:limit =\> “10”)

Thank you in advance,

- John
