I have three models:User,Action,Comment.User have has\_many relation with the Action,this is true.A user can make many comments for different action,an action can have many comments belonging to it.So can i use two has many and two belongs\_to to set the relationship among the three models like following? has\_many :comments in User model has\_many :comments in Action model belongs\_to :user belongs\_to :action in the Comment model. That is the Comment has two foreign keys. ---
