Thanks for your answer,

I am not sure if you mean the same as I do, when refering to Multi-Table-Mapping-Objects.

I mean an object, which consists of one row out of one table and another one out of another table.

What I would wish to do is

# Tablesetup:
[user]
id
username
password

[user_contact]
id
firstname
lastname
street
zip
city
phone

[user_profile]
id
profile_text
profile_image

# Code-Example

$user->load({id => 1, fetch => qw('username firstname lastname')});

print $user->firstname; # prints prefetched firstname
print $user->lastname; # prints prefetched lastname
print $user->profile_text; # prints lazy-loaded profile_text

As I understand DBIC I would do the following (ignoring lazy-loading): 

$user = $schema->resultset('User')->find(1);
print $user->user_contact->firstname;
print $user->user_contact->lastname;
print $user->user_profile->profile_text;

Well, of course I could get around this limitation by writing my own setters and getters accessing the sub-objects from within the parent-object. Maybe this is the best way to do it, but I tought there may be ORMs which can handle this behavior already.

Alex
