I was reworking the 4 days on rails tutorial since I saw an easy way
to use related tables in the find method.  So I started to rework the
paginator code and got confused by the different syntax.

This is my code that I was trying fix:

  def list_by_category
    @item_pages = Paginator.new self, Item.count, 10, @params['page']
 **   @items = Item.find(:all, :include=>  :category, :order=>'category')
    render_action 'list'
  end

This is what the wiki states about using the paginator:

  def list
    @person_pages = Paginator.new self, Person.count, 10, @params['page']
**    @people = Person.find_all nil, 'last_name, first_name', 
@person_pages.current.to_sql
  end

my question is about the starred line.  Is the second form the older
version?  Most of the examples I see have named arguments.  I think
the first two arguments are conditions and order_by, but what would be
the third argument in the second form.

Thanks
