Oh, and you wanted to link them:

Code:

$place->where_in_related('buyer', 'id', $ids)->include_related('buyer', 'id')->get(); // or get_iterated if suitable
foreach ($place as $p)
{
    $b = $buyers->all[$p->buyer_id];
    ...
}

That would be one way to link if your configuration is set up to index the $all array by ID. That has consequences with getting multiple records in queries, so you might want to just make a simple reference map yourself when you're getting the IDs (or only doing the map and using array_keys, or whatever):

Code:

$ids = array();
$map = array();
foreach ($buyers as $b)
{
     $ids[] = $b->id;
     $map[$b->id] =& $b;
}

If there are any errors in my example code, sorry, but it should at least provide guidance.
