Using getTableAlias from defaultScope causes endless loop: getTableAlias calls getDbCriteria that calls defaultScope, which is calling getDbCriteria etc.

Actually, it doesn't make sense to call getTableAlias in defaultScope because defaultScope is always the first scope being applied. That means, 't' should always be returned in this case.

Yes, but for joined tables with defaultScopes it doesn't work

$basket = Products::model()->with('items')->findAll();

That's right. I will reconsider this limitation. Thanks.

You may now call $this->getTableAlias(false,false) in defaultScope() and scopes() to retrieve the currently active table alias. Please let me know if you encounter any problem. Thanks.
