no, i am sorry, i was not clear enough.
is there a way, programatically, that i change the behavior of a model while
still using the model.
is there a way to make it change behavior from has_many :records to has_many
:hats on the fly.
like is there a variable i can pass to an active record object to make it
change behavior ?

thanks
sk
