How to do has_many with a model that is in a namespace

Question

Rails 3 gave us these nice generators that place models and controllers into namespaces, whoo! But now I'm unable to associate them with other models.

I'm trying to achieve a has_many through association with namespaced models. I've been searching around the internet for a few days and I haven't come up with any examples.

/app/models/templates/practice.rb

class Templates::Practice < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :practice_sequences, :order => "position", :dependent => :destroy, :class => 'Templates::PracticeSequence'
  has_many :seasons, :through => :practice_sequences, :order => "position", :class => 'Templates::Season'
end

/app/models/templates/season.rb

class Templates::Season < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :practice_sequences, :order => "position", :class => 'Templates::PracticeSequence'
  has_many :practices, :through => :practice_sequences, :order => "position", :class => 'Templates::Practice'
end

/app/models/templates/practice_season.rb

class Templates::PracticeSequence < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :practice, :class => 'Templates::Practice'  
  belongs_to :season, :class => 'Templates::Season'
end

And here is the error

I have not tried using namespaces for models myself, but when specifying a class for an association, you should use :class_name instead of :class. The rest looks good to me so that might be the only thing you need to change.
