It appears that you need a related_name argument for one or both of
those foreign keys. The Django documentation is probably the best part
of Django. Have a look at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ which
is the entry page. Then in the model layer look under Models and click
the Field types link. When that page comes up scroll down a little to
see Relationship fields in the right-sidebar. The link you want is
Arguments. Alternatively, you could search for related_name but I think
you would be better served as a beginner to start at the entry page and
to follow your nose from there.
Good luck
Mike
