Hi guys,

I was thinking aboiut this for a while:

If I have nested resource routes, for example /building/1/floor/2/room/  
3 (building has\_many floors and so on), I have to call the room\_path  
method like this:

room\_path @room.floor.building, @room.floor, @room

Isn´t there a better way to handle nested routes with foreign keys, or  
can I have this method overwritten somewhere?
