The only situation where I ever found Class::DBI::Loader::Relationship to work was in Simon Cozen's demonstration. In all other cases I found it to be far more work to find the magic English incantation to make C:DBI:L:R work than it was to simply manually specify the relationship to Class::DBI.

From the error message you posted, the error seems to happen somewhere in a package "TOPO", or close to it. We will need the Class::DBI setup Perl code, and it will also help us if you show us the database structure of the two tables you're trying to relate.

I recommend that you whittle down your code to a basic test file that has the same problems but as little code as possible, most likely something such as the following:

package TOPO;
use base 'Class::DBI';
TOPO->connection(...);

package TOPO::ventry;

...

package TOPO::ventryabstract;

...

package main;

# define the relationship here
