Has_and_belongs_to_many include problem

hey,

i have users who are in groups, and i have a search form, where i can
search on
group, user lastname, and user firstname.
All this is also with pagination.

these are my models
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :groups
end
class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
end

in my controller i do this
THIS works (but in need pagination)
@users2 = User.find_by_sql(“select users.* from groups, users,
groups_users
where groups.id = " + @group_id.to_s + " and groups_users.group_id =
groups.id
and groups_users.user_id = users.id and users.last_name like '%” +
@last_name.to_s + “%’ order by users.last_name ASC, users.first_name
ASC”)

i get an error on this (can anyone help me???)
@user_pages, @users = paginate :user, :conditions => [‘users.firm_id = ?
and
users.first_name like ? and users.last_name like ?’, @firm_id,
“%#{@first_name}%”, “%#{@last_name}%”] ,:include => [:groups], :order_by
=>
“users.last_name ASC, users.first_name ASC”, :per_page => 10
