Subject: why doesn't this "belongs_to" line of code, using options override, not work??? (need help using belongs_to with options)

Hi,

Anyone able to help out in how you use "belongs_to" options so that I
can have a 2nd attribute that also belongs to an associated table.  My
recurring items class belongs to a "transaction", however I also want
a secondary recurring item field "journal_source_id" to be able to
reference a "bank_account" item.

The following doesn't quite seem to work?
  -----------------
  belongs_to :journal_source,  # I made this name up, i.e. it isn't
actually in a table.  It's the "journal_source_id" field that is in
the recurring table
    :class_name => "BankAccount",
    :foreign_key => "journal_source_id"
  ---------------



Background below:

---- recurring class ----
belongs_to :bank_account    # recurrance associated with bank account
belongs_to :journal_source,  # HELP ME HERE: Want to have another
reference to a "bank acount" here
    :class_name => "BankAccount",
    :foreign_key => "journal_source_id"

-- recurrings table ----
#  id                  :integer(4)      not null, primary key
#  bank_account_id     :integer(4)      not null
#  journal_source_id   :integer(4)      <==== THIS IS THE ONE

---- bankaccounts table ----
id
