Is there any way to do a Model_thing::find($id)not lazy without "related" ? Or something like Model_thing::find($id,array('related' => "all") ? Because I've like .... 10 relations for one model and to set every related every time is really ....
I have to do this because the ORM can only break relations if it knows they exist.(Thanks to Harro Verton for his answer)
But nobody is stopping you from adding a findall() static method to your model which returns the result of a static::find($id, array('with all our relations'));. That way you only have to code it once and you can use it everywhere.
It is a common misconception that if you use an ORM, you should only use the provided methods and do the rest in your controllers.The rules and best practices for using models are still valid: abstract all data manipulation away in your model. So even with ORM, add a "find_users" method to your model, instead of doing Model_Users:find() in your Controller.
