	    # Allows an object to belong to a parent object, thus creating a nested hierarchy. This behaves in a similar
	    # fashion to the belongs_to ActiveRecord macro.  Accepts the following parameters:
	    # * *parent* - The parent symbol (including namespaces delimited by underscores). Be sure to reflect singular or plural forms on the name. Example: Public::PostsController, Result: :public_posts
	    def belongs_to parent
	      @parent_resource = parent.to_s
	      class_eval "class << self; attr_accessor :parent_resource end"
	    end

	    # Allows one to specify the various options for a resource.  The following options are accepted:
	  	# * *parent_key* - The ID key of the parent resource (for nested resources only).  Defaults to:  <belongs_to name>_id
	  	# * *parent_value* - The ID value of the parent resource (for nested resources only).  Defaults to the record id.
	  	# * *parent_resource_method* - The instance method to call for acquiring child resource(s) of the parent (for nested resources only). Example: A post with many comments would be post.comments. Defaults to child resource name.
	  	# * *name* - The resource name. Defaults to the controller name.
	  	# * *label* - The resource label. Defaults to the controller name with capitalization.
	  	# * *controller* - The controller class. Defaults to the current class. You should not need to change this.
	  	# * *model* - The model class. Defaults to a model of the same name as the controller (minus namespace, suffix, and pluralization of course).
	  	# * *record* - The record (new or found) related to the resource.
	  	# * *namespaces* - The namespaces (if any) for routing. Defaults to whatever namespace your controller is using.
	  	# * *show_partial* - The show partial. Defaults to "/<namspace(s)>/<controller name>/_show".
	  	# * *new_or_edit_partial* - The new or edit partial. Defaults to "/<namspace(s)>/<controller name>/_new_or_edit".

	    # Allows one to disable any number of default actions.  Accepts the following parameters:
	    # * *actions* - A variable list of REST action symbols you wish to disable. You may use any of the following: index, show, new, create, edit, update, and/or destroy.
	    def disabled_actions *actions
	      actions.uniq!.each {|action| undef_method action}
