[Nitro] [PATCH] Allow multiple joins_many style relationships between two classes (and relevent test case)

[Rob Pitt]

Typical me jumping the gun :)

This patch currently does not work with PostgreSQL store, I think it
should work with the others as they do not directly reference the
modified function. I am fixing it so PostgreSQL works properly with it
now.

(We needed this behaviour in a hurry... as usual less haste, more speed
would have been prudent).
