Here's my initial assumptions:
- the relationship from R to A is 'as', and from A to AP is 'aps', seeing as they're both toMany relations...

Yes, that is correct.

- by QO = "qo" you mean "as.aps.qo" contains (QO)qo1
- by QP = "qp" you mean "as.aps.qp" contains (QP)qp1.

I'm not sure about these. Note that the relation from AP to QO (or QP) is a toOne.


So something like...
QO qo1, qo2; // assume these exist
QP qp1, qp2; // assume these exist
EOQualifier x;
EOQualifier y;

x = new EOAndQualifier(new NSArray(new Object[] {
new EOKeyValueQualifier("as.aps.aValue", EOQualifier.QualifierOperatorContains, "x"),
new EOKeyValueQualifier("as.aps.qo", EOQualifier.QualifierOperatorContains, qo1),
new EOKeyValueQualifier("as.aps.qp", EOQualifier.QualifierOperatorContains, qp1)
}));
y = new EOAndQualifier(new NSArray(new Object[] {
new EOKeyValueQualifier("as.aps.aValue", EOQualifier.QualifierOperatorContains, "y"),
new EOKeyValueQualifier("as.aps.qo", EOQualifier.QualifierOperatorContains, qo2),
new EOKeyValueQualifier("as.aps.qp", EOQualifier.QualifierOperatorContains, qp2)
}));

What confuses me here is that there is nothing here that imposes the constraint that, for each qualifier, the AP must be the same for the 3 conditions. If I undertand this correctly, qualifier x says that we want a R that (contains an A that contains an AP whose aValue is "x") and (contains an A that contains an AP whose QO is qo1) and (contains an A that contains an AP whose QP is qp1). But it doesn't say that A and AP are the same in the three conditions, right? So I may be getting different APs, each onde validates one condition, but none validates the 3 conditions, right? Or am I reading this all wrong?
