It lead me to a solution for my problem as well. I was trying to make a next/prev for an item, no associations involved. ended up doing something like this in my model:

  def next
    Item.where("id > ?", id).order("id ASC").first || Item.first
  end

  def previous
    Item.where("id < ?", id).order("id DESC").first || Item.last
  end
