Eloquent query with multiple withs or with with within a hirarchy

Some time, you may need to get a record with some relationship and at the same time you need to get an inner relationship to that relationship and so forth. Here is the key : $records->with(['bill', 'bill.sponsor', 'bill.sponsorSenator', 'bill.sponsor.actions']).

$records = new BillEventModel();

$records = $records->newQuery();

$records->where('eventType','federal');

$records      = $records->with(['bill', 'bill.sponsor', 'bill.sponsorSenator'])->groupBy('bill_id')->orderBy('date', 'desc'); //Use this to add the relatioship and inner ones as well

$recordsCount = $records->get()->count();

$records      = $records->paginate(50);
