Louis, i'm not sure i understand your question fully.
it would help if you post sample data (even if made
up).
in any case, someone mentioned that you could link
table 1 as follows:
table_1:
news_id
news
table_2:
image_id
image
fk_news_id
table_3
comment_id
comment
fk_news_id
if table 2 is linked to table 1, drop in news_id into
table_2.fk_news_id.
if table 3 is linked to table 1, drop in news_id into
table_3.fk_news_id.
drop in both if it is linked to both.
does this answer your question?
