[Dbix-class] delaying relationship loading

[Vsevolod (Simon) Ilyushchenko]

Paul,

Thanks for bringing this up - this is a very serious problem, I've 
already been bitten by it a few times.

Isn't it possible to propagate the compilation error up the chain so 
that it's displayed to the user? Is it something that should be 
addressed in Catalyst?
