Currently to have an object with a list of children as an attribute, as far as I am aware, you must use a relation. It would be great if we could have an object with a list of children as an attribute using a pointer array. THEN to query it, you just include("children") to get it. A lot of my code has extreme complexity due to simple lists of data "in a column".

@dplewis ohhh I didnt realize what was actually happening... The Parse Dashboard displays arrays of pointers as a giant toString blob... I was just not understanding that it is actually a parse object in the sdk...
