Ok , so 

my $ap2 = $f->search_related('mformate')->search_related('motiv_id',
{name=>'Airplane'});

works. 

But according to the docs  in Relationship.pm 
"..  
MyDB::Schema::Role->many_to_many('actors' => 'actorroles', 'actor');
$schema->resultset('Role')->search_related('actors', { Name => 'Fred' });
.."

the other version should work too, or ?
