Thanks Thomas - that just about does it.

I should perhaps have mentioned that services may also do a self join to find a parent service - services are either one or two levels deep. I can make prefetch work for a single level service and I can make it work for two level services but not, as far as I can see, for both.

If I do prefetch => ['service', { service => 'parent' }] I only get results for the cases where the service hierarchy is two levels deep.

Having said that I inherited the self-join hierarchical service table - that could probably be refactored so that all services are a super-service - sub-service hierarchy which would, I think, solve the problem.

Thanks :)
