Hi,

I’ve got Channel model that has many events. Event belongs to channel  
and additionally has a named scope called “current”.

I need to iterate over each channel and then over each “current” event  
for given channel i.e.:

@channels.each do |channel|  
channel.events.current do |event|  
…  
end  
end

I could do

@channels = Channel.all(:include =\> :events, :conditions =\>  
“events.end\_time \>…”)

but the problem is that the conditions would be exactly the same as  
already specified for the “current” scope in Event model. Is it  
somehow possible to reuse them here?
