Rails - Feb 2008 - Calling One Model From Another Model...

I use dependent destroy all the time but in this one case it is not enough.
In my side model I want to be able to delete both the conversation and the
"other side" of the conversation... problem is I am getting the
following
error:

uninitialized constant Side::Conversation

I can''t seem to understand why I am getting that error.  Would great
appreciate some feedback! :-)  Code is below!


class Side < ActiveRecord::Base
  before_destroy :delete_conversation_and_other_side

  belongs_to :conversation
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :with_user, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key =>
"with_user_id"
  has_many :messages, :dependent => :destroy

  protected

    def delete_conversation_and_other_side
      Side.destroy_all("with_user_id = #{self.user_id}")
      Conversation.delete_all("id = #{self.conversation_id}")
    end

end

You should be able to get rid of the error by using self instead of
Side.  ie.

def delete_conversation_and_other_side
  self.destroy_all("with_user_id = #{self.user_id}")
  Conversation.delete_all("id = #{self.conversation_id}")
end
