Nested relations with Sequelize
I am using Sequelize with Node + MySQL.
I have a model structure similar to this:
// models:
var Group, Issue, Invite;
// many Issues per Group
Group.hasMany(Issue);
Issue.belongsTo(Group);
// Groups can invite other Groups to work on their Issues
Issue.hasMany(Invite, {foreignKey: groupId});
Invite.belongsTo(Issue, {foreignKey: groupId});
Group.hasMany(Invite, {foreignKey: inviteeId});
Invite.belongsTo(Group, {foreignKey: inviteeId});
// given an Issue id, include all Invites + invited Groups (inviteeId) - But how?
var query = {
where: {id: ...},
include: ???
};
Issue.find(query).complete(function(err, issue) {
var invites = issue.invites;
var firstInvitedGroup = issue.invites[0].group;
// ...
});
Is this at all possible? What are possible work-arounds? Thank you!

Example
Issue.find({
include: [
{
model: Invite,
include: [Group]
}
]
});
