Associations often have circular import issues

[beanpuppy]

Sometimes circular imports are a sign of poor structuring, but other times they're unavoidable because Python's module system can't match the complexity of all DB relationships.

The best solution seems to be something similar to Django ORM's "lazy relationships", where you can pass the model as a string instead of the actual model object itself.
