Answer 1

You can use the association method both ways:

Factory.define :foo do |f|
  # ...
  f.association :bar
end

If that won't work, you can associate them manually using a callback. Here's an example from one of my apps:

Factory.define :live_raid do |raid|
end

Factory.define :live_raid_with_attendee, :parent => :live_raid do |raid|
  raid.after_create { |r| Factory(:live_attendee, :live_raid => r) }
end
