Short Description
Outer joins in views

Long Description
In the 7.1 devel version, the OUTER JOIN statementes are working, but not in VIEWs. I have created the below listed
view,and while it allows to be created, any attempt of using it ends with: 

ERROR: Internal error: no jointree entry for rel *OLD*


Sample Code
create view ec_recommendations_cats_view as select
  recs.recommendation_id,
  COALESCE(cats.category_name,COALESCE(subs.category_name,subsubs.category_name)) AS the_category_name,
  COALESCE(subs.subcategory_name,subsubs.subcategory_name) AS the_subcategory_name,
  subsubs.subsubcategory_name AS the_subsubcategory_name,
  p.product_name,
  c.user_class_name
from ec_products p,
  ec_product_recommendations recs LEFT OUTER JOIN
  ec_categories cats on recs.category_id = cats.category_id
  LEFT OUTER JOIN
  ec_subcategories_augmented subs on recs.subcategory_id = subs.subcategory_id
  LEFT OUTER JOIN
  ec_subsubcategories_augmented subsubs on recs.subsubcategory_id = subsubs.subcategory_id
  left outer join
  ec_user_classes c on recs.user_class_id=c.user_class_id
where recs.active_p='t'
and recs.product_id = p.product_id;

Thanks for the report.  However, I can't easily reproduce it with just
the CREATE VIEW command.  Could I have CREATE TABLE statements for the
referenced tables, too, please?
