Model Bouncing - Best Practices?

You have to stop the recursion in your code.

You could do that with a second parameter (for example a boolean) for one of the two method calls, instructing the method not to dig deeper.

for example, if you call $this->car-get() from the manufacturers model, you allready know the manufacturer. So use the second parameter to indicate you only want car info, and no manufacturer details.
