Yes, this was in the September 2001 issue of the C/C++ User's Journal
(p. 40):  Extending the Standard Template Library with Association
Classes, by Eli Tilevich.  Very good article.  The code can be
downloaded from the CUJ Web Site (http://www.cuj.com).  His templates
can be used to define one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many
relationships that are non-intrusive to the objects that are contained
in those relationships.  The ManyMany relation also provides for an
optional relation attribute (data that properly belongs to the relation,
not to to any member of the relation).  This code would be a great
addition to Boost.
