 ++++ Equal nest relations
 
+Equal nest relations are perfectly suitable for expressing relations where a class references to itself and the columns within the reference class are equal.
+
+This means that when fetching related records it doesn't matter which column in the reference class has the primary key value of the main class.
+
+The previous clause maybe hard to understand so lets take an example. We define a class called user which can have many friends. Notice here how we use the 'equal' option.

+Now lets define 4 users: Jack Daniels, John Brandy, Mikko Koskenkorva and Stefan Beer with Jack Daniels and John Brandy being buddies and Mikko Koskenkorva being the friend of all of them.

+Now if we access for example the friends of John Beer it would return one user 'Mikko Koskenkorva'.
