Rails - Aug 2006 - problem eager loading with sti

Here''s the setup (working off Rails 1.1.4):

Class Project
  belongs_to :employee

Class Employee < Person
  has_many :projects

When I try to paginate(:employees, :include =>
:projects) I get the error "Association named
''projects'' was not found; perhaps you misspelled it?"

I can :include other models that the Person class
has_many or habtm of, and if I just refer to a
@employee.projects collection that works too.  

Does anyone see what the problem could be?  

Thanks,
Brian Gates

If this is the actual code, Project needs to extend ActiveRecord::Base 
(and I''m assuming Person already does so).

Also remember you have to restart the web server when you change things 
in the database.

Yes, the models do extend ActiveRecord::Base.  And the
webserver was restarted.  If I change the association
to Person has_many :projects (and specify :foreign_key
=> ''employee_id'') the eager loading works fine.  Is
there a reason the sti causes a problem?  I glanced at
the changelog for 1.1.4, and thought I saw that this
prblem had been identified and fixed.
