Often three (or more) way associations are needed for habtm associations. For instance a permission model with roles.

A particular area of functionality has many users which can access many areas.

The permissions on the area are setup via roles (habtm)

The user/roles association is also habtm

The permissions (read, write, delete, etc) are habtm towards roles.

How would that be best done with rails/activerecord?
