You could do
	CircleWindow->belongs_to(window_id => 'Window');

which would lead to
          $circlewindow->radius; 
          $circlewindow->window_id->title; 
          $circlewindow->window_id->keywords;

You could add methods to CircleWindow to pass title/keywords straight
through.

See
	DBIx::Class::Relationship
	DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base
and the manual.

	Nigel.
