"""Illustrate a "three way join" - where a primary table joins to a remote
table via an association table, but then the primary table also needs
to refer to some columns in the remote table directly.

E.g.::

    first.first_id      -> second.first_id
                           second.other_id --> partitioned.other_id
    first.partition_key ---------------------> partitioned.partition_key

For a relationship like this, "second" is a lot like a "secondary" table,
but the mechanics aren't present within the "secondary" feature to allow
for the join directly between first and partitioned.  Instead, we
will derive a selectable from partitioned and second combined together, then
link first to that derived selectable.

If we define the derived selectable as::

    second JOIN partitioned ON second.other_id = partitioned.other_id

A JOIN from first to this derived selectable is then::

    first JOIN (second JOIN partitioned
                ON second.other_id = partitioned.other_id)
          ON first.first_id = second.first_id AND
             first.partition_key = partitioned.partition_key

We will use the "non primary mapper" feature in order to produce this.
A non primary mapper is essentially an "extra" :func:`.mapper` that we can
use to associate a particular class with some selectable that is
not its usual mapped table.   It is used only when called upon within
a Query (or a :func:`.relationship`).
