# In-memory associations as jsonapi_suite sideloads
# Using the trick of memoization, assuming the parent known about the children
# 
# @example 
#   The parent could have a `field type_string, type: String`
#   and a method #type that calls and memoizes `self.type_string.camelize.constantize`
#

class Parent

  # we flatten everything in the same array
  scope do |parents|
