Description

A{ ToMany<B> list; }

B{ ToOne<C> c; }

C{ ... }

The relationship of ABC is 1:N:1
store.boxFor(A.class).query().eager(A_.list).build().find()
Using the above method, I cannot immediately fill in the contents of C.

store.boxFor(A.class).query().eager(A_.list,B_.c).build().find()
This will give an error
A cannot be cast to B

Question:
With eager, how can I get all the data of the associated table?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the A→B→C 1:N:1 relationship and the two eager queries shown in the issue. Inspect the eager-loading entry point and relation traversal that produces the “A cannot be cast to B” error. Done means a supported query can eagerly populate C through B, or the limitation is clearly documented.
