Re: complex find()

No, you need to run the find on Attendance because your condition is
on that model. User should be in the contain array.

However, your contain syntax is also wrong. It should be like:

$this->find(
'all',
array(
'contain' => array(
'ContainedModelName' => array(
'conditions' => array(
// some conditions
)
)
)
)
);

But, again, you don't want to be doing that here because it would
fetch ALL Users, along with an Attendance array for each User record.
That array would be empty for those Attendance records that don't
match the conditions. What you want instead is to run a find on
Attendance to grab those the conditions match. Containable will then
subsequently grab all the matching Users.
