Rails - May 2009 - polymorphic -> polymorphic relations

I have 2 polymorphic models that I am trying to relate to each other:

class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
	belongs_to :business, :polymorphic => true
	has_many :people
	has_and_belongs_to_many :mops
end

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
	belongs_to :contactable, :polymorphic => true
	belongs_to :company
end

class Contractorcompany < ActiveRecord::Base
	has_one :company, :as => :business, :dependent
=> :destroy, :foreign_key => :business_id
end

class Contactcompany < ActiveRecord::Base
	has_one :company, :as => :business, :dependent
=> :destroy, :foreign_key => :business_id
end



The problem is that when I select a person according to
contactable_type and then pull the company name I get hte company in
the wrong table.  Is there a way to make it so I do this:

@contractor = Contractor.find(params[:contractorid])
@company=Person.find_by_contactable_id_and_contactable_type
(@contractor.id,''Contractor'').company.business.name

It will pull from the contractorcompany table and not the
contactcompany table?

Try This:

class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
       belongs_to :business, :polymorphic => true
       has_many :people
       has_and_belongs_to_many :mops
end

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
       belongs_to :contactable, :polymorphic => true
       belongs_to :company
end

class Contractorcompany < Company

end

class Contactcompany < Company

end


USE Inheritance... Not sure if I got the syntax correct but I think you get
the idea...
