cakephp 1.19 AppModel bug?

I've been using the $hasMany, $uses, etc properties in the AppModel to simply some of the querying operations. But it seems like sometimes it randomly deletes rows from some of the tables I've specified in the tables. Also, I don't always need to use those associations.


I've found that loading the model and using it as needed seemed like a better approach and it wasn't deleting data from tables mysteriously anymore..

To use another model only when you need it do something like this:


function amodelmethod()
{
loadModel('FooModel');
$fooModel = &new FooModel();
$fooModel->fooMethod();
}
