Problem with afterFind for associated tables

We are using Cake 2.2.2 and we have the following tables -

Article -> id, group_id, town_id, ...

Group -> id, town_id, ...

Town -> id, ...

The Article and Group tables need to modify their data with data from the Town table, so in each of those Models we have an afterFind callback that checks for the presence of Town data in the results and if found does the updates.

This works fine for the primary model. However Group is also an associated model to the Article table, so if I execute the following find function -

$this->Article->find('all', array('contain' => array('Town', 'Group', 'Group.Town')));

Cake does run the query and assembles the data correctly, but the Group afterFind callback is called without the associated Town data, even though it is part of the query. As far as I can tell, the Group->afterFind is called before the queries for its associated tables are run.

I'm looking for an elegant way to do this within the model, rather than resorting to putting the code in the controller.

Thanks in advance

Mark
