Is there a really simple way to get all the paths of an object with out setting all the Prefetch paths on the WithPath?

Here's some psudeo code:

var q = (from d in metaData.Customer
         select d).WithAllThePaths();

Would this mean all the paths and their subpaths? (might end up with the entire database)

Yes. In certain cases the object is we defined, but may have 10 children tables.

That's not available, and I think it's not recommended, as you can have a method that returns to you that required preftechPath tree and then use it inside the linq routine.

Great! What's the method called that returns them all?

Sorry, I meant you develop such a method, to exactly specify the prefetchPaths needed to be fetched.

One way to do that is by using an include template and generate it You simply have to loop over relations in the entity and emit calls to the UtilizingPropertyName (the field mapped onto a relation). We didn't add these methods as they'll bloath the code and won't be used by a lot of people.
