Is it possible to extend Models somehow like:

class BaseModel extends Phalcon\Mvc\Model{

    public $id,$name1;

    public function getSource (){
        return "base";
    }

    public function columnMap(){
        return array(
            "id" => "id",
            "name" => "name1"
        );
    }
}

class ExtendedModel extends BaseModel{

    public $id,$baseModelId,$name2;

    public function getSource (){
        return "normal_model";
    }

    public function columnMap(){
        return array(
            "id" => "id",
            "name" => "name2",
            "baseModelId" => "baseModelId"
        );
    }
}

$models = ExtendedModel::query()
    ->leftJoin("BaseModel","BaseModel.id = ExtendedModel.baseModelId")
    ->where("ExtendedModel.id < 12")
    ->execute();

foreach($models as $medium){
    var_dump($medium->toArray());
}

The only chance I saw was to manually handle the problem by adding the following

public function afterFetch(){
        /** @var BaseModel $parent  */
        $parent = BaseModel ::findFirst($this->baseModelId);
        if($parent instanceof BaseModel ){
            $this->name1= $parent->name1;
        }
    }

But I think even the baseModelId shouldn't be neccessary

Yes, are you getting trouble with this?

yes, i can not access name1 if I request something like:

foreach($models as $medium){
    var_dump($medium->name1);
}

by the way, in my original model the table rows have different names. so "name1" and "name2" are not both "name" in my tables
