When using the pagination class, you can specify the :include  
parameter. Is it possible to specify two for a table that references  
two relations? For example a POST has both a USER and an  
ORGANIZATION. Would the correct syntax be:

```
  @posts_pages, @posts = paginate(:posts,
    :include => :user,
                            :include => :organizations,
    :order => 'published_at DESC',
    :conditions => "organization_id=#{params[:organization_id].to_i}

```

AND published = true")
