title: EmberJS: How to load multiple models on the same route?
body: <p>While I am not new to web development, I am quite new to to client-side MVC frameworks. I did some research and decided to give it a go with EmberJS. I went through the TodoMVC guide and it made sense to me...</p>
  <p>I have setup a very basic app; index route, two models and one template. I have a server-side php script running that returns some db rows.</p>
  <p>One thing that is very confusing me is how to load multiple models on the same route. I have read some information about using a setupController but I am still unclear. In my template I have two tables that I am trying to load with unrelated db rows. In a more traditional web app I would have just issued to sql statements and looped over them to fill the rows. I am having difficulty translating this concept to EmberJS.</p>
  <p><strong>How do I load multiple models of unrelated data on the same route?</strong></p>
  <p>I am using the latest Ember and Ember Data libs.</p>

  <p>although the first answer gives a method for handling it, the second answer explains when it's appropriate and the different methods for when it isn't appropriate.</p>
