Rails - Jan 2010 - Is there a simply way to check if two models are associated?

Hey guys,

I spent last night trawling through the rails API looking for some
sort of @object1.associated_with?(@object2) and couldn''t find
anything, but it seems so fundamental.. Does anything like this
exist?

if not, i might build a simple plugin/gem to mimic this behaviour.

Sure.  Assuming you have your associations set up properly (for example, 
User has_many :posts), you could do @post.user == @user or 
@user.posts.include? @post.
