I’m trying to access data from the skins table (see below) through a  
nested include  
with no luck. The association is all through imageasset but I do not  
know how to figure it out. Any help is highly appreciated.

######the controller code#######  
@furnii\_from\_furnii = Furni.find :all, :include =\> [{:raider =\>  
:imageasset}, :skin ] , :conditions =\>  
“”+Furni.conditions\_by\_like(@search)+" OR "  
+Raider.conditions\_by\_like(@search) + “OR”  
+Skin.conditions\_by\_like(@search) + “”

#######I have 4 models set up this way (did only include the necessary  
code )#######  
class Furni \< ActiveRecord::Base  
belongs\_to :imageasset  
belongs\_to :raider, :foreign\_key =\> “original\_raider\_id”  
end  
class Raider \< ActiveRecord::Base  
belongs\_to :imageasset  
end  
class Skin \< ActiveRecord::Base  
belongs\_to :imageasset  
end

class Imageasset

## nothing

end

You should ask about it on Rails:)
