Hi

I’m doing multiple model validation. For example i’ve inquiry contact  
and company models. My logic works in inquiries. So in inquiry model i  
added validates\_associated :contact, :company this. Now my doubt is when  
i don’t have any validation for inquires it is not accessing the company  
and contact validation.

To have these validation error messages do i have some validation in  
inquiries?  
How to do the multiple model validation?
